New Braunfels Convention & Visitors Bureau, 390 Seguin Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130
15 Members of our Group participated in the New Braunfels Museum hosted Spring Tran Show. We had lots of our folks engaged with Show participants and a few TBRR Members stopped by the display. Attendance was steady for a Spring Train Show with construction still ongoing in the street in front of the Convention Center. 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. The display contained over 18 LEGO® Modular Buildings. 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 and Monorail that run all around our LEGO® City display located on multiple tables within the entire exhibit area of 18 feet x 30 feet. Thanks to all that contributed their LEGO® Brick MOCs, Sets, Trains and Vehicles that made the display possible for the weekend! Setup for the Event is on Friday afternoon for roughly 7 hours and the Event runs 2 days, 7 hours on Saturday and 6 hours on Sunday. Unfortunately, a few Members of the NBRR Museum commented that the LEGO displays are not the big attraction at the Train Shows. New leadership has taken over the NBRR Museum recently due to deaths and resignations from the Leadership Team. A sad weekend…
