There’s no place like…Chicago?

June is finally upon us and for LOLUG that means Brickworld-Chicago. Every year LOLUG travels to the Windy City for one of, if not the best, LEGO Convention this side of the “Pond.” This year LOLUG has 20+ members making the trip to display their newest creations, attend workshops and panels, partake in LEGO building competitions, and much more.

This year LOLUG will be awarding three trophies (seen here) to individuals (or groups) that we feel exemplifies the best qualities of each award.
#Nebraska Strong- This award will be given out to the LUG or group of people that best shows teamwork and overall camaraderie among their group.

Builder of the Plains– This trophy will be awarded the the builder that best exhibits the traits that have made the Midwest/Nebraska what it is: Nebraska Nice!

LUG Favorite– This is LOLUG’s version of “Best in Show” and will be given to LOLUG’s over all favorite build.

Brickworld-Chicago will be June 15th-16th. If you’re in the area of the Schaumburg Convention Center, stop in and see us and the 100K ft of LEGO goodness.

Until nest time, PLAY WELL!!
