This coming weekend January 31st and February 1st in Chapel Hill, NC the NCLUG (North Carolina LEGO Users Group) will be putting on the 5th annual Lego Palooza to be held at the Moorehead Planetarium.
Castle is of course a vital part of this event as in the past few years it has been well represented. 2 years ago, Cyndi (who's also on CC) got her story told in numerous local articles for the amazing castle display she did with classic sets and TONS of trees & landscaping! Last year I debuted my yellow castle and updated it even more for BrickFair.
This year there's even more castle. I have added an entirely new 4x5 baseplate section to compliment the yellow castle. In addition there will be a huge Eastern themed fort (Brickistan) which will also connect to the expanded yellow castle display. In short, it's going to be HUGE!
For anyone within a day's drive of the Raleigh / Chapel Hill area the event will be well worth the cost of admission (it's free actually~!).

If you can't make it, don't worry too much... the entire castle display will be on show at BrickFair in August and will continue to be even bigger! Plus, I'll be sure to post some pictures of the castles and the entire event for everyone here on the forums.

The event went great this past weekend! Here's a link to some photos that were taken. http://www.flickr.com/photos/brickjourn ... 221119347/
Here's a link to a few videos to give you a better idea of the size of the event as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PHQYkjKs8k
I'll post most detailed pictures of the castle displays once they become available. It took me 7-8 hours to set up all the fun details and only 1 hour to take down, but it was lots of fun!
Enjoy the pictures!
