PRESS RELEASE
BRICKWORLD RETURNING TO FLORIDA STATE FAIRGROUNDS
For Immediate Release
(Fishers, IN July 22, 2015) Brickworld® is excited to be bringing the premiere North American
LEGO® display and exposition back to the Florida State Fairgrounds to fill 40,000 square feet with
displays made of LEGO bricks, interactive activities and vendors selling LEGO kits, parts and
compatible accessories. When asked how he would describe Brickworld events to someone that
hasn’t attended, Executive Director and LEGO fan, Bryan Bonahoom, said “The displays at the event
are awe inspiring. The detailed ideas and creativity of the artists and engineers always amaze.”
Brickworld displays include trains, robots, cityscapes, space stations, and much more. Bryan also
added “Brickworld is different than LEGOLAND®. The LEGO creations are much more detailed
because they don’t have to withstand the weather like the displays at LEGOLAND. And, they are all
labors of love done by enthusiasts that want to impress everyone.”
Brickworld showcases many local LEGO artists and engineers from the state of Florida through a
partnership with the Greater Florida LEGO Train Club and the Orange County LEGO User Group.
There are also displays coming from as far away as Toronto, Canada and Boston, MA. These
displays are invited because they are crowd favorites and award winning creations from other
Brickworld events.
The LEGO brick is widely recognized as one of the most educational toys in the world. At
Brickworld, kids of all ages can witness an incredible variety of ways to use the brick for art and
engineering applications. Using the LEGO brick exercises creativity, engineering skills and hand-eye
coordination.
Brickworld Tampa will be held on September 19 and 20, 2015 at the Special Events Building on the
Florida State Fairgrounds (enter off of MLK). Hours are 10 AM – 6 PM on Saturday and 10 AM – 5
PM on Sunday. Admission is $12, under 3 are free. We are also pleased to honor our active duty and
reserve service men and women with a discounted $9 adult ticket (military ID required). Tickets
available at the door or online via the Brickworld web site at http://www.brickworld.us/tampa/.
