NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The NewsChannel 5 Station had some very special visitors Sunday afternoon!

Middle Tennessee Girl Scouts Troop 1193 out of Murfreesboro took a tour around the newsroom and the studio.

NewsChannel 5's Katie Melvin let them try their hand at the green screen, and our sports team talked them through their day-to-day.

Girl Scouts is all about getting out in their community and learning something new.

"We learned a lot about like the process and the behind the scenes of what happens, and how it's important," said one Girl Scout, Annika Oslund.

"I really liked how they helped us come here, and we learn about different jobs, and it'll probably help my career a lot in the future," added her friend Veronika Duchacek.

Thanks for the visit!

Santa Train stops feel especially impactful in wake of Hurricane Helene

There are still so many families in East Tennessee hurting following the floods from Hurricane Helene in September. That made this year's running of the Santa Train extra special for many families in the northeast part of the state. This special Santa Express has been making an annual run in part of Appalachia for over 80 years.
