USPS Unveils 2003 Stamp Program at LEGOLAND® California

The United States Postal Service will unveil its 2003 Stamp Program, "A
Nation of Firsts," on October 10, 2002 in California.

The USPS will unveil its 2003 Stamp Program at a special ceremony at
LEGOLAND® California, in Carlsbad, on October 10th at 10:15 a.m. Area
schoolchildren have been invited to join in the fun and help the Postal
Service unveil six (6) of the 2003 stamp images, which will be created
entirely out of LEGO bricks and on display in the LEGOLAND Miniland USA
section of the 128-acre theme park.

The LEGO bricks used for the images will be "2x4" and "1x1". Each finished
image will measure "30x44".

The images that will be created out of LEGO bricks will be: Lunar New Year,
First In Flight, Southeastern Lighthouses, Reptiles and Amphibians, Old
Glory Prestige Book and Holiday Music Makers.

The remaining 2003 stamp images will be unveiled using traditional color
print enlargements.

Collectible LEGOLAND pictorial cancellation will be available all day near
The Big Shop at no charge to park guests, while sheets of stamps and
postcards also will be on sale. The exact cancellation will be available at
the Carlsbad Post Office for 30 days after the event.

For more information, please call (760) 918-LEGO.

Did I miss something? What's the connection with stamps and Lego? Is there
going to be a postage stamp w/Lego on it? Or are they just doing a display of
the new stamps out of Lego because it'll look cool? Or both?

If anybody's going pics and/or a report would be appreciated :)
