This year, The Puget Sound Lego Train Club (PSLTC) was asked to be the main
model railroad layout for the fair. The layout was a great success and thanks
goes out to all of the members and all of the people who helped out with
staffing.

Every year the Western Washington Fair in Puyallup invites a train club to
display at the Fair. This year that club is the Puget Sound LEGO Train
Club (the first L-guage club so featured since the PNLTC displayed in
1999).
The PSLTC has a 32'x15' layout in the Hobby Hall featuring Jeff
Pelletier's downtown, Thomas Rafert's new (and old) mills, Brian Kelley's
offshore oil platform, and much more. The display is available for
viewing during regular Fair hours, 10am--10pm Sunday through Thursday and
10am--11pm Friday and Saturday, for the duration of the Fair (September
8--24).
Some pictures are available here:

NWBrickCon 2006 is looking for people who want to present a talk, moderate
a roundtable, or run a special activity at the Con this year.
We already have some traditional activities---like a Dirty Brickster,
Wacky Races, and Draft---lined up, but there are still several spaces
open. In the past, we have had slideshows, presentations on building
techniques and styles, discussions of how to package MOCs for shipping,
and more.
The Con runs October 6, 7, and 8 (move-in October 5). Talks and
activities will most likely be scheduled Friday afternoon and evening,
Saturday and Sunday morning, and Saturday evening, with roundtables during
public hours (11-4 Saturday and Sunday).
If you are interested in presenting, please e-mail me (my first three
initials @morfydd.net) with the title of your talk/roundtable/activity, a
brief description (for the Event Program), and any time restrictions (if
you won't be getting in until later Friday, for instance).
Deadline is Sunday, September 10.
Presenters (and everyone else) can register for the Con at
http://www.nwbrickcon.org
Hope to see you at the Seattle Center!

nwbrickcon.org is online
Hey folks, we’ve got great news. nwbrickcon.org is
online. Online registration is available along with ordering your NWBrickCon
tee shirt, commemorative model, and/or Brick Bazaar Space. Current
registration cost is $38.00 until May 5th.
Extra benefits this year
People bringing creations to NWBrickCon 2006 will have the opportunity to drop
off their MOCs a day early. We have secured space for unloading on Thursday,
Oct 5th. This time and space is for unloading only and is meant to make setup
on Friday morning that much easier!
Keynote Speaker
I am very happy to say that Steve Witt is going to be our keynote speaker at
NWBrickCon 2006. Mr. Witt is the Community Relations Coordinator for the LEGO
Community Team. We’re very excited to have him come and visit with us.
The NWBrickCon team continues to work to make this a great event. If you have
questions or comments don’t hesitate to let us know!

NWBrickCon 2006 Coming This October!
Mark your calendars October 6-8 for NWBrickCon.
We're going back to the Seattle Center again with nearly double
the space we had the year before.
What's that mean for you?
It means, more room for:
*Moonbase
*Space
*Castle
*Town/Train
*Miniland
*Mecha
*Wacky Races
*Great Ball Contraption
*Sculpture/Art
*Microscale
*Presentations
*Brick Bazaar
*Rolling Death Stars
*and whatever YOU bring!
We're working on our website. Once our new site is up, we will start accepting
online registrations. Early registrants get a price break!
Prices for registration will be:
From online time until May 4 the price is $38
May 5 through September 15 the price will be $44
After Sept 15 the price will be $50
Single Day registration will also be available this year.
Shirts, Con models, and Brick Bazaar
tables will be in addition to the registration fee
and their prices will be available when the website is put
online.
Another perk worth mentioning will be the Thursay load in. We will have access
to the facility Thursday Oct 5th for loading purposes only. So, if you arrive
on Thursday and want to drop your stuff off to make Friday that much easier, you
can!
Keep checking back, we will be posting more information about
NWBrickCon as it develops.
