The annual mini-building-block extravaganza of all things LEGO will once again be held at the Western Development Museum (WDM) where, in partnership with the Saskatchewan LEGO Users Group (SLUG), creative minds from across the province will visit Moose to showcase their talent and hours of dedication at BRICKSPO 2024. BRICKSPO will take place on Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28 and runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on each respective date at the museum.
