December 15 and 16, 2007 

When you were a kid, remember playing with a LEGO set?  Remember building a rectangular box and calling it a house, then feeling so proud when you managed to build a funny-looking stack that represented a person? 

How about the first time you saw a really incredible LEGO creation that made your efforts look totally lame?

In my case, I simply gave up.  However, there are people out there — adults! — who recognized a challenge and turned their LEGO skills into a true art.   They’ve even formed organizations, and the one I want to tell you about today is known as CoWLUG — Colorado/Wyoming LEGO Users Group.

In September, these creative folks set up a large scale LEGO town over a two-day period at the Colorado Mills mall.   That was such a bit hit with local shoppers that they’re going to do it again on December 15 and 16.

If you can get there early on the 15th, you’ll have the best opportunity to watch these LEGO artists actually set up their amazing display.  Once the town is up and running — yes, there are moving objects as part of the display — members of CoWLUG will be available to answer questions.

Photos are encouraged, and if you get inspired to try your creative hand with LEGO bricks, the LEGO Outlet store is right there in the mall, ready and waiting to fulfill your dreams!

For a taste of what’s in store for you (wow!), take a look at this video from the September event.   From Ghost Busters to trains, tanks to farms, ambulances & paramedics to Godzilla-like creatures, this town had it all!
