A HUGE thank you to everyone that participated in Brickworld 2008. Once again,
the event was a great success because of your efforts, your donations and your
artistic & engineering talents.
We never thought we could top the feel of Brickworld 2007. But, the spirit of
Brickworld continues to grow and it is very exciting!!

Registered attendance up from 242 in 2007 to 335 in 2008
Display space increased from 15,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet
So many raffle prizes that we drew EVERY ticket from the bucket

Front page coverage in the Chicago Daily Herald
Watch for pictures and other details if you missed the event. We have already
started working on the 2009 event. Mark your calendars now and start planning.
If we sustain the present growth rate, space will be filled earlier next year.
Thank you again for everything. It is a wonderful thing when a community comes
together.
Start your planning for the new World of Lights collaboration announced at
the awards ceremony. We are already working on our MOCs.
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago!!!
Regards, the Brickworld Team
Brickworld will be held June 18 -21, 2009 at the Westin North Shore Hotel in
