We had a wonderful event at the Lone Star Flight Museum Lego day! We had 14 members participate and bring mocs. Total attendance was 710 (394 adults, 216 Children, 100 Children under 4).

Houston Brick club held their annual Christmas Bash on December 14th this year and it was a huge success! We had 60 members in attendance! Thanks so much to Jeff and Angela Schroeder for hosting us they have been so gracious to do this for several years in a row! We had so much fun. The food was absolutely delicious, we had lasagna (meat and vegatarian varities), cake and all the trimmings. We held our annual dirty brickster (white elephant exchange), we drafted a lego set and also had our custom built ornament exchange. 85 sets and a big bag of polybag sets were donated by our members to Texas Children’s Hospital.

We had 6 Club members present, all with MOCs: Jose Ruiz, Angela Wynans, Alexander Harber, Pam & John Tesch, Tim Howell.  We displayed from 9:30 to 2:30pm. We had approximately 2300 in attendance (250 kids, 50 teens, 2,000 adults). The public visitors really enjoyed seeing what we brought and were very appreciative.

Club meeting at Bricks & Minifigs Katy, we had a great turnout. Build challenge was a 16×16 D&D creation. Congratulations to Seth for winning this month’s build contest!

Our club meeting challenge this month was “shiptember”. Alexander Harber took home the bragging rights of winning this month with his take on Blacktron. We had 22 members in attendance as well as 2 kfols.

The Houston Brick Club participated in the Houston Science Festival – Scratch Day held at the Humble Civic Center on Saturday, September 7 from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. produced by Bridges to Science, a 501c3 dedicated to bringing STEM educational content to Hispanic students, homeschool students, and underprivileged students.

Attendance was 300-350. We gave out raffle tickets to students who engaged us with questions.

We had a great event at Dragon’s Lair!  Kiara was an amazing host providing us a war table to display our creations on!  She also checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a very good crowd on Saturday, a bit lighter on Sunday.  Many people were interested in our Builds and in Houston Brick Club.  We had a lot of interaction with the crowd and answered many Lego questions! There were 6 members who participated in this event!  We have an open invitation to attend next year and Kiara thinks they may be having an even bigger event offsite next year where we can have even more display space.

As you will see in the pictures below our friends from the 501st were at the event with us!

Houston Brick Club held their monthly meeting at the Bricks & Minifigs, The Woodlands, Texas. They just had their grand opening on August 3rd! Thanks to Abe for graciously allowing us to have our meeting at the store! We had 24 adults and 2 teens attend.

Our brick challenge this month was to build a small moc with the Parabolic ring (75937  2×2 Bar Frame Octagon).

7 Members rose to the challege!  John gets the special bonus for including the red octagonal part in red, but an original goat also.

Our next meeting will be September 21st at the Galleria Lego Store in Houston, Texas.
