LEGO Expo – All Ages: Saturday, March 15 from 10:30 to 3:30 PM
(Snow date is Saturday, March 29)
Don't miss the library’s 15th annual LEGO Expo!
Participants bring a LEGO construction of their own design to the Expo to be displayed in Volunteers Hall.
Models can be dropped off a few days prior to the event or displayed on the day of the Expo.
We want to see how creative you are, so build a LEGO model from your own imagination.
In other words, create your own cool design – don’t build a LEGO model exactly as it appears in the picture on the box. The more creative, the better!!!
The first part of the Expo will be judged age categories (kids, teen, and adult) for those who wish to have judges look at their work. The second part of the Expo will feature a display of all LEGO models, including those who just want to display their models and not be judged.
Please pre-register so that we can create a guest book and attendance certificate for you! Registration will open in mid January.
