Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ll be entering a couple of things in the community LEGO contest in Silver Springs this weekend. It’s open to the public on Saturday Jan 23, from 12 noon until 2pm. My faithful assistant Finny will also be entering a work or two. Come on down and say hi, and check out the contest.
I’m a big fan of any get together that helps to promote the Calgary LEGO scene.
Update: The Rudolph Mosaic placed 2nd in its category.
