BrickUniverse, August 25-27, 2017
Post date: Jul 03, 2017 5:59:30 PM
BrickUniverse is coming to Knoxville this year! For those unfamiliar, BrickUniverse is a traveling LEGO fan convention much like other conventions we've attended. This year's show in Knoxville is billed as an "expo" with the possibility of next year becoming a full blown convention. That means, this year will be more focused on the public visitors with less after-hours focus on the exhibitors. However, we'll be dipping in to our support packages from The LEGO Group to make up for that difference with the hopes of making it feel like a regular convention for our club members.
Registration:
Free for participating club members and family!
Let Pete know who from your family is coming so he can secure your passes.
