Darn, I was going to announce this on your behalf, but I was too slow..
Here goes anyway:
NELUGer, Dave Eaton took home the SECOND PLACE: **Best Train Model,**
for his Green Line trolley, as voted by BrickFest attendees! (Of course
my stuffing the box for him may have made a difference.. (did I say
that?)) But seriously, the competition in that area was fierce! There
were a huge number of fantastic train creations that Dave was up
against. In walking around the train room, his cars were outside the
main layout, against a wall. But there they shone. There was nothing
else like it at the fest. (no, Dave isn't paying me to say this). At the
awards ceremony, I think I may have hurt my voice in screaming so
loudly, esp as I had to do it again for...
Dave's FIRST PLACE: **Best Space Model,** for his AT-AT, as voted by
BrickFest attendees! I don't think I need tell you what the competition
was like in the Space room.. Even better, as this was announced, it was
brought to our attention that his model won "by a landslide!" woo-hoo!
Dave's recognition was well deserved! I'm thankful for his taking time
and care to bring those models. He even drove them down to the event. I
have to tell you, when I saw his AT-AT standing on its own, without
supervision, where anyone could have bumped, broken, or stolen it, I was
truly impressed by the bravery exercised. It says something for
BrickFest too, that there was no bad incident.
I hope more of us bring MOCs next year so we can really clean house. :-)
Oh, one more thing:

I'm happy that those were available for us and, IMHO, ours were the most
professional looking Ts there. ;-)
Oh, another last thing:
Eric K was missed by many I spoke to.
Ok, I'm done cheer leading.

Yeah, I guess we could talk about the home show, the future of Brikwars, etc, etc. And Suz, Jorge and I can fill you all in on the Brikfest-- you'll be pleased to know that every MOC that NELUG members brought (...)
