Sidney, B.C., February 6th, 2020 - Looking for a family-friendly activity
for Family Day? Sidney has you covered with Sidney's Family Day Weekend Lego
Event presented by Peninsula Co-Op! On February 16th & 17th visit the Lego
Exhibition at Sidney Museum, where a multitude of models are on display. One
of the highlights will be the construction of a giant LEGO model of a Pirate
Galleon built by Canada's only professional LEGO builder, Robin Sather.
Throughout the two-day build at the Guide & Scout Hall (9732 Second Street)
he will interact with kids and adults alike, answering questions and
explaining the dynamic process of planning and building a giant LEGO
creation. The weekend also includes LEGO displays by VicLUG, an opportunity
