From News Nation:
“Walmart to
light up skies across the US with holiday drone light show”
In a holiday season unlike no other, Walmart
announced plans to light up skies around the country with a holiday drone light
show throughout December. “This year’s holiday season feels like it
needs more than the standard set of lights. Instead, think drones,” the company
said in a release. Walmart said it plans to launch nearly 1,000 drones
into the sky to create seasonal shapes and characters, like snowflakes,
reindeer, snowmen and holiday presents, choreographed to a soundtrack of
classic and modern holiday favorites, from “Frosty the Snowman” by Bing Crosby
to “Run Run Rudolph” by Kelly Clarkson. The show will be contactless and
socially distanced, the company said. “After a particularly tough year,
we want to help families end the year looking up. We want customers and
communities to enjoy a moment of rest, peace and hope,” said William White,
chief marketing officer at Walmart. The event will include pre-show
entertainment with music from local DJs and a short holiday special, “DreamWorks
Trolls Holiday,” before the drones take flight.

^ While this is
a nice idea it’s sad that only those living in the South, the Southwest and
California will be able to enjoy it. What about the Northeast and the Mid-West?
