We are ConnLUG - LEGO Enthusiasts of Connecticut
About our Organization
-
Who We Are
ConnLUG is made up of over 50 AFOL ( Adult fan of LEGO® ) and TFOL ( Teen fan of LEGO ) members from all over Connecticut and New England. We are spread across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and professions, but we all share the same love of LEGO. Some of our members have been building for over 30 years and some have just come back to LEGO after many years away. Some are beginning to build with LEGO for the very first time.

What We Do
ConnLUG meets once a month to particpate in themed build challenges, draft set pieces, set reviews (including MOC-and Tell), and so much more. We also travel throughout the state participating in events at public libraries, museums, and more to bring our love to others. We regularly meet at various times throughout the month for sorting parties, public and private build events, and just to get together with other members to discuss techniques and build!

Mission and Values
ConnLUG is dedicated to furthering the appreciation and enjoyment of building with LEGO® brand products within our communities. We support and strive to inspire others to bring their ideas to life in the form of LEGO building systems. We encourage all LEGO enthusiasts from all building styles and backgrounds to join us in the endeavor of cultivating imagination and creativity through building with LEGO.

We are spread across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and professions, but we all share the same love of LEGO. Some of our members have been building for over 30 years and some have just come back to LEGO after many years away. Some are beginning to build with LEGO for the very first time. We are also the only LUG in the area that allows teen members, ( 13-17 years old ), to join in the fun. We are the hometown LUG for many current and former LEGO employees, who wish to cultivate their own creativity through building with LEGO. Our diversity is our strength and it contributes to the wealth of knowledge and experience that we share among our members. We welcome all LEGO enthusiasts, from all backgrounds, to join our organization and to enjoy our people, events, and benefits.

We welcome fans of all ages, but to officially join our organization, you must be at least 13 years old. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult to all meetings and events.

Throughout the year, we host and attend a variety of events at local museums, public libraries, and more. Our biggest event each year is the Festival of the Trees at the Wadsworth Museum in Hartford.
Our public shows and events are always a hit, and we love working with the community to display our LEGO creativity.

We give back to our community by working with S.T.E.M. and children’s programs, participating in public displays, and by interacting with all AFOLs and TFOLs across Connecticut.
