Scouting For Bricks

I received a neat email today about an event coming up in May called Scouting for Bricks. They are a Boy Scout Troop that is putting on this event hence the awesomely appropriate name! It looks to be a lot of fun for exhibitors and attendees. So Please check them out!

The location of the event is Leesburg, VA which isn’t terribly far think Brickfair, VA only slightly further.

Saturday May 4th, and Sunday May 5th.

Please check out their website at www.ScoutingforBricks.com or http://s4b.troop39.us/. for more information on attending or exhibiting.
