After a great effort by NGLTC club members and non club members our tree
display for the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Festival of trees was put
on display this week. This evening at the preview party we were presented
with a surprise, our display had one best tree in show!

Some highlights of the display

45 yards of LEGO garland, and yes I drilled holes in 6000 2x2 bricks and
strung them on fishing line to make this.

The tree is for sale by the Festival, no I don’t get any of the money nor
did I set the price: (that does include both sculptures too)

display first hand. For more information visit: http://www.choa.org/festival
