We’ll be at West Fest this Friday and Saturday displaying our Lego train and city layout in the West Valley City Family Fitness Center (5415 W 3100 S West Valley). It’s gonna be a great show; come and see us!

But we haven’t done any updating as far as our two most recent shows are concerned, so before this new one, let’s take a quick look at what the club has been up to!

On April 11th, ULUG and GBLT&C attended the Scout Jamborall at the South Towne Expo Center. It was our second Jamborall, and it brought great success. We were one of the favorite booths, and even received a small writeup in the Salt Lake Tribune! This event was also the first time we had no electricity, and we ran all the trains off of a modified NXT train regulator built by George. We merged the two cities into one mega-city, and also began customizing the train yard. The water front also returned.

We stayed busy this spring, with another show in Wendover from May 15th through the 17th. This was our first ULUG sponsored show, and we were privileged to be able to set up and display our layout at West Wendover High School. This was also our first show with all custom Lego tables, and much to our delight, it was well attended–especially for our first attempt at our very own show.

Many of us stayed at Spencer’s home during this time, where we held a barbecue and club members built and sorted Lego well into the night. Ryan and Brian both enjoyed celebrating birthdays together on the 16th.

And we just keep growing! Each show is better than the last, and you’re sure for a treat at this weekend’s Fest.
