ParLUGment just had our first showing here in Ottawa, and everybody loved it.
The word "LEGO" was on the lips of both young and old at the Train Show.
Everybody was coming back again and again. It was such a joy to see. The
layout was the most kid-friendly in the show, by being at their eye level
(close to the floor), by the fact that it was LEGO (which most of them were
quick to tell us they had lots of), and by the stickers and book covers that
every parent was carrying around at the show. :-)
The LEGO display was definitely a huge success.
I've now posted all my pictures. Here's the root folder after moderation:

A huge THANK YOU to LEGO for the event kit. The stickers and book covers were
a huge hit with the kids. They disappeared very quickly. Our only regret was
that we didn't reserve enough space to accomodate a play area. Hopefully with
the response our display got this time, we can claim a bigger area for display
and play area next time. Maybe I'll include my sons growing DUPLO Train
collection in the play area too. :-)
We met a few LEGO fans from Ottawa that we had not known about previously,
and we had many people asking to buy Train sets, for catalogues, and for
ParLUGment and LEGO S@H information sheets. So hopefully next time we can get
a hold of some of those new Train Posters, and get some business cards or
something to hand out for ParLUGment.
We all had an awesome weekend and plan to make it a regular occurrance.
Play well.
