There where food and drinks provided with sweets given away by sponsors. There was a cake given to PinoyLUG that featured the community’s logo.

It was a whole day affair that lasted until 7 PM where most have spoken online some of the members met for the first time in person. It was a veritable social event for everyone who where into the LEGO® that doesn’t have any boundaries. It was a celebration more than just another community into the hobby about LEGO®.















Sunday

While the weekend winds down the event didn’t stop and more food and drinks where served. It was also a ‘family oriented’ event on the last day of Bricktober where more kids roam the exhibits seeing some MOC sets in one section and licensed themed sets on the other where changing.

There where activities on Sunday too and just like any event it was great while it lasted. The weekend that is a celebration for PinoyLUG was a mission accomplished that was organized not just by the LUG Ambassador himself, but a team effort from those members who made Bricktober happen.
