Ft. Wayne, IN: The Embassy Festival of Trees offers a unique way to brighten up its newest attraction.
Visitors to the festival starting Wednesday evening will be able to create power for the lights on a Christmas tree by pedaling on a bike connected to a generator. The generator creates energy that goes into a power pack and lights the tree.
The power pack stores energy, but when it runs low, an alarm sounds indicating that more pedaling is needed.
Embassy Marketing Director Dana Poffenberger came up with the idea of installing an interactive alternative-energy tree. Its ornaments all are made from recycled or natural products.
--Maybe next year they could install one at Rockefeller Square. Gives a whole different twist to a bicycle for Christmas.
