LEGO KidsFest is coming to the I-X Center in Cleveland, November 4 - 6, 2011!
Never mind it is 44 days away, my kid is brimming with excitement and I totally get why he is excited!

Some of the activities that might be there are:

• Creation Nation: build your own creation to add to a custom map of the U.S.

| Creation Nation begins as the outline of the United States. LEGO® KidsFest attendees start with a 5x5" baseplate, then build their creations with the provided LEGO brick. The map fills in as the weekend progresses. In the days following the event, photos of the finished map can be found at www.LEGOkidsfest.com. |
