BrickFest for kids?

My 4-year-old is very into LEGO, and has in the past spent most of a couple of days studying layouts by the NILTC and neighboring clubs. I’m planning to go to BrickFest, so my question is: should I bring my 4-year-old?

I’m sure he’d enjoy looking at the layouts, but from reading the event schedule, it sounds like a lot of stuff which would be interesting to me but boring to him (talks from LEGO bigwigs, building competitions he can’t participate in, etc.). I haven’t been to BrickFest before, but I gather that it’s really geared towards ALEs – the schedule even mentions a special session for enthusiasts aged 12-17, which rather implies that participants under 12 aren’t expected.

Should I leave my son at home? Bring him just to the Sunday general admission? Or give him the full weekend?

Many thanks,
– Joe
