Amarillo set to have its first ever LEGO convention in January
Amarillo will have its first ever LEGO convention when the Amarillo Brick Convention arrives at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex on Jan. 4 and 5, it was announced this week.
According to organizers, it will be the ultimate event for LEGO lovers of all ages, and tickets are expected to sell out. A portion of the proceeds will be going to Creations for Charity, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that buys new LEGO sets for underprivileged children around the world during the holidays. For the Amarillo convention, “professional LEGO artists will be coming in from around the United States to display their amazing LEGO creations and to meet with fans. There will also be meet-and-greets with LEGO celebrities,” a news release says.
LEGO fans will be able to get creative in the Construction Zone, with thousands of bricks available, as well as live builds to watch and engage with. Galleries will have also been set up with life-sized LEGO models on display. Other attractions include LEGO merchandise for sale, including retired sets and goodies from multiple different vendors; a Star Wars Zone; Castle Build Zone; and a Fan Zone, with epic LEGO creations built by local fan builders.
