Hey,
We were invited to cover the Lego Kids Fest event when it came to Pittsburgh's David L. Lawrence Convention Center last weekend. I went down Friday afternoon for the VIP event prior to the show opening to the public, and it was insanely fun!

I did a write-up here you can check out:

There's an extensive Image Gallery with the story as well, so the pictures in the story are only a small fraction.
The show is traveling around to different cities, so if you can make it to one, and you're into Legos at all (or have a little one that is), you'd do yourself a huge favor to check this out.
I had way more fun than I thought I would. I was expecting to just cover the event, but wound up joining in on the Creation Nation build, and spending a lot of time checking out all the displays. It's something to definitely check out if you're able to.
