May Lego Build May 18th, 2012 by Angela Schroeder The Wichita SWE Festival of Trees theme for December 2012 is Lego^®. All year long, we will present a monthly Lego^® build on the SWE website at http://wichitaswe.org/news/?tag=lego-tree. These building directions are from the Lego^®website and are copyrighted. If you have some spare Lego^® this is your chance to make an ornament for the tree. For May we are building numbers. PDF Numbers Bring completed ornaments to any meeting to be delivered to a member of the Tree Committee.

Professional members, along with some friends and family, were provided all of the supplies to create their own “masterpieces” for a nominal cost. Painters were given step-by-step instructions from Paint the Towne’s Jessie Sterling, so both the artistically-inclined and not-so-inclined could create something to be proud of. Attendees enjoyed a fun evening of painting, eating, drinking and socializing at the event.

The competition was the same weekend as the tornado that passed through south east Wichita. Because of the storm, the competition had to end early on Saturday and was not able to resume on Sunday. The teams were judged based off the two rounds of the flight competition that were completed as well as their report. Congratulations to the winning teams.
