Since I’m brand new, would it be more helpful for me to assist with setup/cleanup or being there for the actual event?
New has no factor in it. You don’t even have to limit yourself to one. Which do you want to do? Sounds like this one could use extra hands and eyes setting up, but it could be chaotic, so be prepared. Staffing events is always nice to have people to cover breaks and to be able to socialize. Everyone should feel empowered to define their own involvement based on what they enjoy and what they want to contribute.
Seems like we’re going to have a set to raffle each day:
7213 off-road fire truck
and
7937 Train station
We’ve got a lot of 4×4 green plate and 2×4 brown plate. Does anyone have any construction vehicles? I was thinking we could fill a few baseplates easily on setup day with a construction site and plop down the LEGO movie title in the middle of it as if they’re working on something.
