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!!

Some quick highlights:
Matt DeLanoy voted the Brickworld Master for his creations
$3,000 raised for charity at the auction
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
MOCs, MOCs and more MOCs. All table space was filled 3 weeks before the
event
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
