Disclaimer: The folks at LEGO KidsFest have provided me with a set of tickets to give away to my readers and in return I received a set of tickets for my own family to attend the event.  Although, I have to say, even if I had not had the honor of promoting this event I think we would have bought tickets to go anyway, because we are LEGO addicts 😉
