New northwest LEGO convention being organized

Post by isaacada1 »

Members of a LEGO club out of Portland Oregon are in the planning stages of launching a summer LEGO convention in the city in 2012. PortLUG has started discussions on their mailing list for the event. If you're interested, you can read through some of the discussion on their mailing list. No name for the new event has been determined.

For historical context, Portland has been home to another LEGO convention. BrickFest PDX was run 2004, 2007, and 2009. Brickfest was scheduled to take place this past March, but was cancelled last October. Bricks By The Bay in San Francisco has moved into being an annual spring show in that time slot. I for one would love to see another northwest event for LEGO fans to attend. I know it's quite the 6+ hr drive for Vancouver fans to travel to Portland. The gas prices don't help either.

I noticed also that Toronto will host a big LEGO show this summer.
