Downtown Blacksburg, Inc. Host a holiday wonderland every year in the Kent Square lobby.
Companies from downtown are encouraged to decorate and put up a christmas tree or gingerbread house which is then judged by the local community with proceeds going to a charity.
The trophy recieved from this event is called the "Soaring Eagle Award" and until this year was pretty plain. Having won the trophy in 2018 for Ozmo's "DropTree" Github They encouraged us (Ozmo) to modify the trophy before returning it. So as a personal goal I decided that since DropTree was a programmable tree the trophy needed to have a programmable tree as well. So now to introduce:
The tree includes an Arduino nano clone connected to a string of multicolored LED lights.
