MegaTree 2008

Lest you think I've forgotten my roots, this post is announce the arrival of the flagpole that will be used as the basis of my new mega-tree for the 2008 Christmas Light show. The tree will be 20 feet! (Last year's was 10') It will have at least 6500 lights. Perhaps even a few curtain strobes for effect.

The pole of choice was the Sunsetter telescoping flagpole pictured to the right. It is in four sections. The lights can be attached at ground level and the pole raised with joints reinforced to handle the weight of the lights. The pole can be removed when not in use and stored.




After it is assembled it should look something like the picture on the left. I can't wait! It will be sweet!
