 Lego
contests have been held at the SAHBA Home Expo for the past eight
years, and have been a huge hit with both kids and parents according
to Lee-Ann Burgener, Executive Officer of the SAHBA. “We’re thrilled
to expand to the Fair. It’s great to see the kids building and
having fun, and we hope that their Lego building skills leads to a
career in the building trades” said Burgener.
“The Logan County Fair is excited to partner with the SAHBA on this
new opportunity for kids to get involved at the fair! They will have
a fun time sharing their imagination and creative skills and we
can’t wait to see what they come up with!” – Rachael Welker, Fair
Office Manager
The Lego contest will be held for ages 5-8, 9-12, and
13-17. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will advance to the Illinois
State Fair Lego contest on Sunday, August 20th at 10:00 am. “The
2023 Lego Contest is a brilliant way to get kids involved in an
educational activity hidden in an entertainment setting,” said
Rebecca Clark of the Illinois State Fair. “Legos not only spur
creativity, but they foster STEM (science technology engineering and
math) related skills. We look forward to welcoming these champions
from the Sangamon County Fair to Springfield this August for an
opportunity to be crowned Best in the State!”
The Lego contest will be held on Saturday, August 5th at the Lincoln
Stage Building. Registration begins at 3:00 pm, building at 3:30 pm
and judging by local celebrities at 4:00 pm.
