Lego memories created at S.D. State Fair

HURON — Lego lovers between the ages of 4 and 12 all gathered at the Arts and Education Building at the State Fairgrounds on Monday morning for some last day of the fair fun.
The theme of the competition was “the most fun thing they saw at the fair.” Competitors had a short time limit to build their favorite fair memory and at the end, the judges picked the most innovative creation.
The first age group in the competition was 10- to 12-year-olds. Applicants were able to submit their information until the competition started, at which point the names were drawn randomly.

After the 10- to 12-year-olds were the eight- to nine-year-olds, then the six- to seven-year-olds, and lastly was the four- to five-year-old age group.
Each group had first, second and third place winners. Prizes for third placers was a $10 Wal-Mart card, second place received a $15 Wal-Mart card and the first place prize was a $25 Wal-Mart card.
