At Brick Fest, I was approached by the Richland Twp. Volunteer Fire Dept. to see if we’d be willing and able to come to their LEGO-themed fundraiser on Jan. 29. She’s looking for a display with a firefighter focus, but was also open to a winter village set up (which would be perfect following Christmas trolley). She’s going to get me more information regarding how much space we’d have. I told her I’d post and see if there was any interest. Richland Twp. Volunteer Fire Dept. is in Johnstown, which is about 2 hours away.
@greg That’s the best of both worlds! 😂
Yeah, it is really cool how different themes and settings can make a cool display. There are so many combinations to try that it’s fun!
Johnstown is a bit of a hike but it sounds interesting. January 29 is a Friday in which case, I can not participate (work). 🙁
If anyone has the Fire Brigade (https://brickset.com/sets/10197-1/Fire-Brigade), that might be one thing to display.
Kevin O’Leary would say, “bad weather, huge time investment, no incentive – for these reasons, I’m out.”
Looking at my calendar the 29th is a Saturday, not a Friday, and just a bit too far out for me to accurately say if I can attend or not, at this time though given the history of events I would say it is unlikely. However I could likely send something up with someone who is attending.
@willmcdine Thanks for reviving this thread.
I actually never heard from them after BrickFest so I’m doubtful we’ll be participating this year.
Wife is off so I can staff this. Don’t know what all I’ll have to display myself, but people mentioned having things for display but can’t attend. I can at least do the legwork for them.
UPDATE: I had spoke too soon and Andi had reached out to me right before the meeting yesterday.
@tbrown00 Thanks so much! Honestly, anything that you have would be fine. You may want to connect with @willmcdine. They were very interested in his fire trucks (being as they’re a Fire Department) and he mentioned he’d be able to send. I can also send you my Pens logo and Pirate Parrot, or whatever else I find in the stash. 🙂
@laura was also possibly interested.
Here’s the link to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2782677438701794?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A%5B%7B%22surface%22%3A%22page%22%7D%5D%7D
Update: The event runs from 10 am to 4 pm. I just need to let her know how much space we’d need by 1/14.
Looking at my calendar the 29th is a Saturday, not a Friday
Oops, thanks for catching my error. At the moment, I do not have anything scheduled for that Saturday (i.e. no hockey games). So I am a solid MAYBE at this point. If I go, I will at least take the World Trade Center buildings I had a Brickfest Live.
I am currently looking to bring my technic Jeep and I am hard at work on a MOC fire engine. 8 Studs wide and maybe a foot long when done. All told maybe a couple feet of space on my part. I’ll see what else I can cook up in the next month though.
So as predicted I can not attend this due to work. I am however willing to send items with whoever. My Mosaic is in the process of being re-done onto a more “Lego Art” base, and I don’t think it will be done in time for the show. By that time though my Ideas project will be uploaded. So I can box up those trucks as well as some others for display at this. If we have a solid showing just let me know!
@willmcdine I am definitely attending this. Feel free to pm me so we can coordinate and I’ll transport your trucks to the display.
@knb112 Yes, I am planning on going. @tbrown00 and I had briefly discussed carpooling and as far as I know, we are still planning on that. We could probably take one more person if anyone else wants to go. Depending upon traffic, it’s about 1:30-1:45 drive time. So, we will likely leave Cranberry around 7:30-8:00 am.
I am off worth on the 26th, 27th, and don’t leave to go into work until after 4pm on the 28th. I will load up some fire trucks for display and can meet who ever, whenever, where ever within those days.
@timf Yes, I am still good to car pool. @willmcdine where are you located, I’m up in Cranberry. Can meet you somewhere down off 79/279 on one of those days. Time would depend on where, but I’m thinking roughly about 1:30-2:30.
