Where?
Ah, now thats a good question. We are still looking for a good place. We
could have the meeting at Woodfield Mall in
Schaumburg, IL. But that isnt necessarily the ideal location. A persons house,
a room at a public library, local church or community center would be better
suited to showing lego creations and conversation without the noise that goes
along with a busy mall.
If you have any ideas about a good location and/or can help find one, we would
be very appreciative.

Last year we had 4 train layouts and 1 castle layout. While we have
named this show a "train show" all themes are welcome. From robotics to
moonbases, anything Lego will make a delightful addition to this event.

I'm curious, who built the "ACME Quality Used Grey Bricks" delivery truck? No
special reason for asking :-) share and enjoy!
