                American  Tobacco is the busiest workshop this side of the North Pole!              
The  Jingle Bull Bash, a season-long celebration featuring high energy events both  familiar and totally fresh.  Starting Dec. 3 through Jan. 2, the Jingle Bull’s marquee  moments include:
         The all-new  Triangle Christmas Tree Challenge:  The Challenge invites non-profits and  supporters to decorate one of 50 Christmas trees to be displayed on campus  throughout the Jingle Bull Bash.  Six prizes — ranging from $1,000 to $5,000  — await the non-profits behind the trees deemed “best decorated.” 
         Fans will select  the top three winners by texting their votes starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec.  3 through Dec. 16.  All-star judges will select an overall favorite on the  final day of text voting (standard rates may apply).  
         You can view the  trees at WRAL.com.  WRAL News on FOX 50 will announce the winners on  Friday, Dec. 17th.  Brought to you by FOX 50, WRAL.com, Duke Energy and  the Triangle Community Foundation. 
   The Cool Yule  Countdown: American Tobacco’s Annual   Tower Lighting:  Join thousands of  revelers on Friday, Dec. 3 at 7pm as they ring in the season with this Triangle  tradition.  From the Durham Public School Choral Groups that fill the  campus with music to the countless water tower lights that fill the sky with  joy, the Cool Yule Countdown is a must.  Plus, arrive early and pick up  complimentary stocking stuffers: a light wand sponsored by Duke Medicine.
