You might remember some of their creations from the BRICKmas Expo at Newport on the Levee around the holidays.

My boys have enjoyed the Kentucky Brick Expo over the past few years.

Kids can get photo opps with helmets made from LEGO bricks, search from a list of items located in several themed scenes on display, create their own LEGO designs in the play area and can shop for items to complete their collection. Members of the OKILUG are always happy to share about their designs and the work that went into their display.

Kentucky Brick Expo April 27th & 28th

April 24, 2013 By Nedra McDaniel 17 Comments

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.
