We had a great display event at Dragon’s Lair! We had a huge amount of people, 350 adults and 150 children stopped by to check out the builds and talk about Houston Brick club! The staff was incredibly nice and gracious to invite us to the event and would like us to return next year and give us double the display space! Two of our members filled the table with builds. We had two large castle/medieval builds and 3 maxifigs.

Great meeting at Bricks and Toys Destination in Katy!  We had 21 adult members and 4 kids in attendance.

Lonestar Flight Museum – June 17th, 2023

Great turnout and display at the Lonestar Flight Museum.  We had 6 members participate.  750 guests were in attendance. The play brick area was a huge hit with the kids. Participating members received a goody bag from the museum including lego inspired brick glasses.  

We had 9 members participate in this event. It was a great family event with Art activities, hula hoop performers, Art Cars and of course Mocs from our awesome Houston Brick Club Members! We also provided play brick for attendees to make their own lego creations.

We also had a creative crowd participation mosaic build, check out the pictures below! Special thanks to all the members who attended and tediously put the brick and plates together to make this such a successful part of the event!
