Program Description

Event Details

The NILTC has created a whimsical world built out of LEGO for all to enjoy and will share it at this special expo at the Dundee Library. Experience buildings, castles, spaceships, farms, famous cartoon characters, and LEGO Minifigures getting into all sorts of mischief. Custom running LEGO trains connect all the different areas into a cohesive train display with characters from one often bleeding into other areas in a humorous manner. NILTC also excels at little vignettes throughout the layout that often get lots of attention and big laughs from the adoring crowd. Whether you're young, old, or somewhere in between, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The event is free, and no registration is required.
