15 Members of our Group participated in the third physical Event since the worldwide pandemic hit the USA in March of 2020. This Event almost seemed like we were back to normal, except there were still plenty of folks wearing masks while attending or participating in the Show. We had lots of our folks engaged with Show participants and a few of TBRR Members that stopped by the display. Attendance was up from the Fall Show. The folks asked lots of LEGO® based questions plus made comments on some of our more unique LEGO® creations on display. A hit each time it is displayed is the Red, White and Blue Lady Liberty with Authentic base. Her display contains over 11,000 LEGO® bricks and she stands 4 and 1/2 feet tall and weighs 45 pounds. Several young kids noticed the LEGO® Dragons around the display and made a point to tell their parents about them as they walked around the layout. The young kids were really excited and began counting the superheroes and villains displayed in the LEGO® Marvel Universe MOC created by our Teen Member, well done! And last but not least, are the LEGO® Trains that run all around our LEGO® City displays located throughout the entire exhibit area of 20 feet x 30 feet. A large Train Yard was created for this Show to display the multitude of engines and cars that LEGO® has made over the years, including a classic 12V Engine and several train cars. A new addition for the trains, was an AFOL designed and built historic Montpelier Train Station from Virginia. Thanks to all that contributed their LEGO® Brick MOCs and made the display possible for the weekend! Setup for the Event is on Friday afternoon and the Event runs 2 days, 7 hours on Saturday and 6 hours on Sunday. The NBRR Museum planners were extremely pleased with the attendance at the Event with the pandemic levels at all time lows in the State.
