I’ve just recently been informed that Todd Webb (the guy that organizes BrickFair) is planning on having a “BrickFair: New England” event in Manchester, NH on Mother’s Day weekend, 2013 (at least May 11th-12th), at the Raddison hotel and expo center. |
BrickFair New England
May 11th & May 12th, 2013.
11:00am – 4:00pm
Join us at the Expo Center of New Hampshire in Manchester, NH.
LEGO models, displays and winding trains sprawled out over 30,000 square feet.
BrickFair brings together adult fans of LEGO from across the USA (and Canada, and a few other countries) to show off their projects, great and small, and to share their passion for LEGO – the most awesome toy – ever.
LEGO fan festivals like BrickFair are great fun for the whole family!
Join in a game or two – maybe win a LEGO set.
Vendors will be offering all things LEGO, including shirts, hats, minifigures, custom-molded weapons, unique models, keychains and… really… everything you never imagined.
Dang. This is right around when I graduate college.
The rumors were true. I received the email the day after we spoke Bill. Wonder what type of presence we will have at this event?
Hi ILUGNY,
I hope you guys can make it out to BrickFair New England. It’s definitely awesome to have the support of organized groups – especially LUGs. While BrickFair depends upon the public to pay the bills, the AFOLs are the *reason* we have LEGO fan festivals.
This new event is sure to be a real change of pace for anyone who’s been to BrickFair in Virginia. Compare roughly 100 exhibitors at this new event to the 1,000 in VA. This is what we experienced in Alabama earlier this year. It makes for a cozier experience. You get to talk to everyone – more than once.
Of course I’m a bit distracted with VA event coming in a couple weeks. But as the months tick by, we’ll get more New England talk going. I’m really looking forward to it – I really enjoyed the venue and hotel when I visited last month – great layout.
I hope to see some of you there,
Todd
Sounds like a plan!
