Kingwood Hall has been built out of Lego by NEOLUG member Todd Wolf. It is currently on display inside the building.

It was snow filled cloudy day, and NEOLUG members strapped on their snowshoes and hiked 2 or more miles uphill in the snow with their MOCs strapped to their backs. Their destination: FOX8’s front yard to participate in the 17th Annual Operation Giving Tree event. Upon arrival NEOLUG’s LEGO artists setup a Christmas winter scene display for all the attending children (and adult children at heart) to say – “Yeah, Olaf is here!!”.
Despite the less than cooperative weather, the event was well attended and a glowing success for the charitable event. Folks from the community drove up and helped out Santa by giving generous donations to support needy families in 5 local counties. When the event ended, NEOLUG put back on their snowshoes, and hiked 2 or miles uphill filled with the warmth of the happy folks attending the event. Whichever Holiday you celebrate, may it be joy and happiness.
Thousands poured into the Covelli Center this past weekend, July 6&7, 2019. Fans dressed as their favorite character were invited to participate in a collaborative build mosaic: Jay & Silent Bob, in recognition of headliner Jason Mewes.
Many dressed as their favorite super hero took their picture with NEOLUG’s display of super heroes mosaics and scenes. Many visitors returned both days, and look forward to our return next year.
Arthur Gugick, 59, was taken from this Earth on March 30, 2019. Arthur started playing with LEGO at age 7, and attended his first convention in 2005 – BrickFair Virginia. There were about 125 AFOLs in attendance. Arthur has built hundreds of scale miniatures of global landmarks and detailed portraits of pop-culture icons using nothing but LEGO. Arthur was responsible for the Taj Mahal build for the movie Taj (2011) ‘For the Taj Mahal, I actually had to write my own computer software to help me make the dome,” Arthur shared in an interview posted 4 years ago.
Arthur was a beloved high school math teacher at Beachwood City Schools, and a member of NEOLUG. You can view his other works of art on his website.

This year we were at the Cuyahoga County Fair, in Berea Ohio, from Thursday – Sunday August 8 – 12. NEOLUG had as much fun as the nearly 250,000 fair visitors this year.
We had even more people show up this year to look at the wonders we created such as a mini Cuyahoga County Fair, Egypt, and other creations from the our member artists. The miniaturization of Professor Bubblemaker’s Beautiful Bubble Ballet was a huge hit with both visitors and the professor himself. To see more of our photos of the event, please visit our photo’s page.
