The LEGO masterpieces have been created, and it’s time for the judging!
Seven very creative families gathered at the Webster Recreation Center last Friday evening for the first-ever LEGO Family Show Down, a fun competition where participants were challenged to race against the clock and each other to build … well, whatever they wanted. Each family team was given the same selection of LEGOs and had a maximum of two hours to free-build their LEGO works of art. There were no restrictions as to the theme or size; the final product was only limited by their imagination and building skills.
The results are really impressive. There’s a Putt Put Golf course, Harmony Park, a giant, a warehouse, something that looks like it might be a bus garage, and more. All seven of the final creations are on display in the Recreation Center’s lobby, and now community members are asked to stop by and vote for your favorite.
The Rec Center is located at 1350 Chiyoda Dr. (off of Phillips) and the displays are right inside the front door. Just pop in, the friendly folks at the welcome desk will give you a ticket, you choose the creation you like best, and slip the ticket into the little box next to it. It’s that simple. Votes will be accepted through this Friday March 27 at noon.
I know that the event’s organizers are happy with the turnout and are considering scheduling another LEGO Family Show Down later this year. So stay tuned, dust off those LEGOs at home and start practicing!
