The Lego event at the fair happened last year. No real publicity,
no good crowd, We built a castle, 9 ft high!!!, by 10 ft squared I
think. The Model designers (3) I was talking to gave me the job of
one of the turrets, beacuse I was older than the average 7 year old
crowd. (I'm 15) It was a nice castle. I got some nice pieces out
of the deal. Before they build, the kids are supposed to be
instructed that "any brick you find that isn't a 2x4, you can keep,"
but, kids were coming and going so quickly (T.V. Attention spans)
that the model designers couldn't tell them this. I, however, went
specifically for building the castle, and spent 3 1/2 hours building,
so they told me. I got 4 black right handed airplane wings, 6 black
1x6 bricks, 10!!! dark grey knight's helmet and 4 dark grey burps.
