The Vancouver LEGO® Club was put to the test against Master Builders as they
constructed a layout for the "What will you make?" LEGO® North America RoadShow
tour.

Approximately 9 members of The VLC built the impeccably detailed layout in 3
weeks, putting it all together at the RoadShow tour held at Science World the
weekend of September 20th. The members worked in their spare time, building the
best possible layout in the limited space provided. This was their smallest
layout yet, and their 5th unique layout. But don't let the size fool you; it's
packed with non stop action and automation from firing canons on pirate ships to
Quidditch teams zooming around the pitch.

The show was located in:  Vancouver,BC at Science WORLD!
The Dates & Times were:

September 19,20,21
Friday 12PM-5PM
Saturday 11AM-5PM
Sunday 12AM-5PM

Families from across Vancouver put their creativity and building skills to the
test at the "What Will You Make, Americas?" Bonanza . Kids and adults alike
spent the three days getting hands-on experience with new LEGO Designer Sets and
LEGO Inventor Sets as they participated in a variety of different activities
ranging from family building challenges to city-specific storytelling through
building. Young builders had a chance to meet a LEGO MasterBuilder, who
evaluated models either made at home or at the event, as well as provided tips
and tricks for LEGO building. Preschoolers could make and create whatever they
could imagine with the LEGO EXPLORE bricks. Children who participated in every
activity were named "Official LEGO Builders" and received their license to build
like the Masters! This family event was free of charge.

An excelent showing of what can be made with Lego. In observing the crowd on Saturday, they were suitably impressed. The "What will you build?" road show was a hit and resulted in some superior displays. The only thing that was wrong was that noone (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
