"GMLTC & Brickmania Toyworks Open House (Dec 4th)"

"The GMLTC (Greater Midwest Lego Train Club) are pleased to announce a free open house and LEGO® display at our "Toyworks" space in northeast Minneapolis on Saturday, December 4th, from noon to 8 pm.

"This will be the first public display by the GMLTC in our new permanent workshop and exhibition space. On display will be our club's 30 x 18' layout featuring operating LEGO trains, busy cityscapes and tons of other creations to see and enjoy. Local LEGO® brick artist and model designer Daniel Siskind will also be displaying dozens of historic military models, including World War II armor, aircraft, and several large warships. Bricks will be available for guests ages three and up to build their own creations and contribute to a collaborative city to be built throughout the day. A small retail store is also located within the space, offering rare LEGO®, Brickmania, BrickArms, and other premium building products.

"The Toyworks is located within the offices of Brickmania LLC, suite 177 of the historic Thorp Building in Northeast Minneapolis (1620 Central Avenue NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413) who are having their annual building-wide Holiday Sale on the same day. For the entrance closest to our space, we recommend parking in the lot on 18th Avenue near the railroad bridge and enter the building through the door next to loading dock number 5.

"Starting in 2011, the Toyworks will host a free public open house on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Aside from the GMLTC's ever-evolving permanent display, we plan to feature the works of different local and international builders each month. Our goal is to provide a museum quality educational and inspiring experience and something new to enjoy month after month."

This sounds wonderful. I know my kids would love to see this, but unfortunately next weekend doesn't work for us to travel the 600 mile round trip. However, I definitely think our next trip to the Twin Cities will have to be scheduled around one of your open houses!
