Greetings,
After a successful show last year, COLTC was again invited to display at the
Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows, in Belleville, IL, near St. Louis, MO.
This year an entire building was dedicated to the Lego display, which again was
featured by the life size Lego Nativity Scene. The “Song of the Angels” mosaic
and the “Town of Bethlehem” were also repeat performers, as was my Cathedral.
Besides the layouts, there is a very large building area for kids of all ages.
COLTC set up an entirely different layout this year. Last year tall buildings
were specifically omitted, this year we had less restrictions.

We had 3 skyscrapers, a large town section, a large forested hill, a
river/valley area, and a medieval village. In addition to the town layout, a
seperate little display has 2 of St. Louis landmarks, the old cathedral, and the
Gateway arch:
Jack and Don of GatewayLug visited us during our set-up, thanks for coming and
helping guys!
The show is open daily, from 5 PM to 9 PM (except Dec 25th and Thanksgiving),
admission to the Lego building is $4 for adults, $2.50 for kids 5-12, under 5 is
free. Tuesdays, all kids 5-12 are free with a paying adult. Show will run till
Jan 6th.

Paul,
too bad you guys left just before Gary McIntire and I arrived -- your layout
looks fantastic! The cathedral rework is great. The arch is in a class by
itself. Well done! dan parker, TrainBuilder Productions, LLC

Yeah, we’d love to have set-up at the same time, but this worked out better for
most of us. I’m glad you liked it, Although last years’ was not bad, this was
clearly better, we have grown as a club, and as individual builders. From your
comments I deduct that the arch is still up :), we were a bit worried, but gave
them clear instructions not to mess with the table too much, like only moving it
with 6 or so people. I hope your set-up wnet smooth, looking forward to see some
pictures (I assme someone took pictures ?). Hope the visitors like it all, they
should!
Paul
