Thank You for Attending the 28th Annual Building Competition with LEGO Bricks
Our 28th annual building competition with LEGO bricks took place on August 10th. We had a full registration of 50 kids. Luckily we were able to host the event outside despite the smoke. We all enjoyed getting to spend the afternoon in the sun.
This years theme was “Natural Wonders of Whistler”. For a town built on spending time outdoors, we decided it’s time to show our appreciation for all the wondrous nature our town has to offer. We saw builds of both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain, Alta lake and a variety of trees. After 45 minutes of building we saw a lot of truly creative and amazing builds.
We would really like to thank our wonderful judges this year. Maz from the Whistler Public Library, Erik from Arts Whistler, Sierra from the Audain Art Museum and Spencer from Whistler Community Services Society. Without the support from these judges, we would not be able to host such a fun competition. This year’s winners for each age category are listed below:
Age Group 3-5: Isla M, June B, Bodhi M
Age Group 6-7: Amelie E, Ikey B, Forest M
Age group 8-9: Soly B, Andi D, Felix R
Age Group 10+: Owen K, Antonio N, Mabel W
Everyone went home with a goody bag full of lovely prizes thanks to our local sponsors. This event would not be possible without the support of local businesses. This year our generous sponsors were Armchair Books, Cows, Purebread, Escape! Whistler, Whistler Dairy Queen, Lucia Gelato, Zip Trek and The Great Glass Elevator Store.
Of course a big thank you to every child and parent or caretaker that attended the event. Without such a wonderful enthusiastic community we would not be able to host this event. Thank you all so much for coming out and showing your support. We can’t wait for next year!
