Brickfête - July 28-31, 2011 Assembly Hall, Toronto, Ontario Ontario Brick Builders hosted the first Canadian LEGO adult fan festival in a beautiful historic location on the shores on Lake Ontario. Jeff, Jude and Deborah headed west to join in the "old school" fun of this awesome celebration of our favourite brick building toy. Three and a half days of non-stop LEGO goodness included contests, challenges, an auction and of course a gigantic collection of LEGO creations. Saturday the event was open to the public and people from far and near gazed upon our collective works. Plans are already underway for Brickfête 2012 and will be posted at www.brickfete.com soon. Other photos from the event can be found in the Brickfête flickr pool.

Area 3 - Highrise floor building. The floors were stacked at the very end showing what they accomplished as a team.

It was certainly fun for us.
The Danish Club of Ottawa held its annual family Christmas party which featured Christmas crafts for children, traditional Danish treats for everyone and Christmas carols sung around the Christmas tree. A few members of ParLUGment volunteered to show this Danish group what can be done with the famous plastic toy from their own country. The children were entertained for hours with the free build table, everyone enjoyed the mocs and sets on display, and more than just the children got involved in making Christmas ornaments in LEGO with instructions available from the LEGO website. Many Danes shared happy memories with the club members of hours spent, both in Canada and Denmark, playing and building with our favourite toy.
