10-10-09 DK Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary Day!
October 12, 2009
Members of the 501st Legion really added to the fun!
There are good days, there are bad days and there are incredible days. 10-10-09, this past Saturday, was an incredible day! We held a party, together with the Sandwich Recreation Department, to celebrate the release of the DK Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary……and about 600 of our friends showed up! That was not a typo. 600. We are so grateful to the Sandwich High School Key Club, Sandwich High School Honor Society and the Cape Cod Fencing Academy members who volunteered for this event. They worked hard and made the day a lot of fun.
Who could blame them? We had Star Wars characters (courtesy of the 501st Legion), Lego activities (build a Lego race car, a one minute Lego tower build contest where your tower had to stand up to the power of a blowing fan, and build a Star Wars Lego mini), crafts, face painting, a fencing demonstration, a costume parade and a giant Lego cake! Thanks to DK, everyone left with a bag full of Star Wars goodies like stickers, posters, pins and more! It was a GREAT day.

Look at this cute Princess Leia!
At the crafts tables planned by the Rec. Dept. you could make a picture frame, do a puzzle, make a bookmark and more!

Our mobile store was busy as people got their first look at the new DK Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary
Edye's family volunteered to help with the day, they were great!
One Minute Lego Tower Build---see who can build the tallest tower in one minute...it has to stand up to a blowing fan though!
The sneaky Jawa...is the Jawa swiping something??

Edye and her family made a HUGE Lego Star Wars cake to celebrate the day. Her daughter Lucy and niece Katie decorated the cake.

Then you simply must give up on the whole college thing and come home! We’ll just take another picture! Easy.

OK. I’d like all my old Legos back now, please.

Hah! Poor Adam and David had to allow all of their spare Lego pieces to be used by a crowd of 600! They were a little nervous about what would come back…but actually…all came back! The LEGO Store in Braintree was also super super nice to us and loaned us some big display pieces that were filled with Legos and Duplos which helped. It does make you want to play with Legos, doesn’t it?
