Events

While sipping hot cocoa of course, organizer and Stan Hywet volunteer Todd Wolf, summoned the creative power of NEOLUG’s membership to build an updated version of the Lego city display in New Line Cinema’s 2003 Christmas classic, Elf. There have been many different pieces created in 18 years by the Lego Company, and NEOLUG members were honored to accept this challenge. Come visit our display located in Stan Hywet’s Dining Room.

Included in your tour of the Manor House is 21 spaces staged to resemble family favorite and classic Christmas movies – with 25 decorated trees to create a festive holiday atmosphere throughout. The tour will begin in the Reception Room which will resemble a movie theatre lobby decorated with ticket stubs, candy, and popcorn. Then it is off to the start the tour in the Estate.
