My husband and I were invited to attend a OKILUG (Ohio,Kentucky, Indiana- LEGO User’s group) meetup last Saturday.

Did you know that there is a group for adults in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana that meets regularly to build with LEGO® bricks?

My biggest observation was that this club is all about community and sharing an interest in LEGO bricks. You don’t have to bring your own LEGO bricks or be extrememly creative to get involved with the club. There is a variety of skill and experience levels amoung the members. They gave us a simple project.

We put together pieces for part of the frozen lake layer for the upcoming show.

I first met Rodney, one of the orginal members of the club, with his mom at the LEGO Kidsfest in Louisville, KY. I recognized the logo on their shirts from an event we attended that the OKILUG was involved in.

What’s also really neat is that Rodney started building with LEGO bricks with his mom when he was 7 years old. This has been a shared hobby that has continued over the years.

You might remember some of the group’s creativity from the Shillito’s Elves Display at Newport on the Levee this past Christmas.

    This sounds amazing! My kids spend hours building with Legos. Their little minds come up with the coolest ideas w/ Legos. My youngest son made Wally from the Disney movie, he used the most random pieces and it looked just like it and his eyes moved and belly opened. I was shocked cause he was four! Boys are amazing:)

    My boys are currently into building ships (inspired by Titanic) and will take them into the bath and see if they float and then watch them sink… over and over again. They are really wishing they had a Titanic Lego set but are making do with what we’ve got. My girls are just starting to show interest in the Lego Friends sets too.

    Karen L… lol! We don’t like stepping on them either!

    My kid’s favorite things to build are of the places/cities that we have visited on our vacations and road trips throughout the US. My favorite was when my 6 yr old son built his version of the White House and the Washington Monument!
