Cardinia Brix is returning to Pakenham next week, celebrating its fifth annual event in town and the long history of Lego, which seems to only grow in popularity with each passing year.
Southern Cross Brix Inc is a not-for-profit group run by volunteers and was founded by David and Renee Howes, and Kerry and Peter Jordan.
For their annual event, they chose Pakenham due to the family-orientated demographics of the area.
The first Cardinia Brix dates back to 2018 at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, and 2024 will be the fifth running of the event at the centre, with 2020 and 2021 being cancelled due to the pandemic.
This year will be bigger with extra floor space to invite more exhibitors to display their inspiring LEGO creations.
Local builders will be present, alongside others from around Melbourne and Regional Victoria. All love to talk about anything LEGO-related, including giving any tips and advice on building techniques, and how they bring their ideas to life in LEGO form.
The brick building area is back and organised once again by Bindy and her team at Bricks 4 Kidz. Open to all ages, builders are only limited by their own imagination and maybe a shortage of bricks!
A new addition to this year, the event will include Bricks to the World, who will be selling recent and hard-to-find/retired LEGO sets.
Another first for Cardinia Brix, is the inaugural People’s Choice award, where the public will be encouraged to vote for their favourite LEGO exhibit.
Many may have noticed the board advertising featuring the large LEGO spaceman named Buddy on the corner of Princes Highway and Station Street, Officer. Cardinia Brix gave thanks to the team at KR Peters Real Estate Officer who generously donated the advertising board.
Whether you’re a child or a child at heart, there’s something at Cardinia Brix for everyone.
Cardinia Brix will be held at the Cardinia Cultural Centre over Melbourne Cup weekend, Saturday 2 to Sunday 3 November.
