Well, another year of BrickFair Virginia has come and gone. Why must it always pass us by so quickly?! Sad remarks aside, let's get into the joy that is BrickFair.

As usual, the creations displayed were phenomenal! There's always something new to see at this convention, which is a fact that I always look forward to when I attend. I personally always enjoy meeting the upcoming builders that attend this event for their first time equally to reconnecting with old friends and other great builders.

It's easy for us here at BrickNerd to praise such a great convention, but what do other attendees have to say? I conducted two brief interviews with a first timer at the convention and another builder who has attended for multiple years:

This was your first time as an exhibitor at a LEGO convention and attending BrickFair VA. What was your favorite part about the event that makes you want to attend again next year?

Dominic M.: "My favorite part about BrickFair is just about everything! There's plenty to do like meet new people, buy cool things, and show everyone what you can do as a LEGO builder! If you're a big fan of LEGO and you like to see other creations, or you want to show off your own, BrickFair is the place to go!"

I know that you have attended BrickFair VA for multiple years now. What is it about this event that brings you back every year?

Joseph Z.: "It gives me an opportunity to meet people in my community. I also like the chance to see some of my favorite builds in person, and see old friends, of course!"

My fellow BrickNerd contributor Kodiak and I were both fortunate to attend the event and together have pulled together some photos of the highlights that were on display. These photos are not enough to truly give you the experience, but hopefully they are enough to inspire you all to attend!

Until next year, BrickFair!
