MOOSE JAW — The Western Development Museum (WDM) is once again partnering with the Saskatchewan LEGO Users Group (SLUG) to host Brickspo, the popular annual celebration of LEGO creativity, imagination, and engineering.
Running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, the two-day show will transform the WDM into a brick-lover’s paradise — featuring original LEGO designs by fan builders from across Western Canada, interactive talks, family-friendly games, vendor booths, and prize draws.
LEGO fans can expect everything from sci-fi worlds and medieval castles to celebrity portraits and nostalgic pop-culture builds. New this year is an online seek and find activity using QR codes, as well as daily prize draws and a partnership with local eatery Déjà Vu Café.
The seek and find event features 80’s themed LEGO builds hidden throughout the museum. Guests can write down the names of these builds to enter and winners will be announced at 5 p.m. on each day of the event.
Members of SLUG and other fan groups from across Western Canada will be on hand to chat about their original designs and share tips with aspiring builders. Throughout the weekend, attendees can vote on their favourite creations for the coveted "Best in Show" bragging rights.
This year’s show also features a LEGO yard sale from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with other vendors set up outside by the entrance to the museum. Vending options will include an Optimist Club barbecue, served on a cash-only basis from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Cone Artist Ice Cream Truck, and Déjà Vu Café serving deep-fried treats.
