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

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!”
