Jul 15th 2019 Friday Night Shopping We're trying something new. This year we're closing the doors, separating the small hall Friday night 5:00pm to 9:00pm for a public Friday Night Shopping session. Both halls will remain open to exhibitors, but they'll be separated by closed doors. To pass between the halls you'll need to exit the building and re-enter. The public will have access only to the vendor hall. After 9:00pm Friday, the halls will be re-opened to each other. Saturday and Sunday are public visitor days as normal. Friday Night Shopping has free entry for the public. |

Jun 22nd 2019 Yard Sales To facilitate the raging popularity of Virginia's Yard Sales, we will now supply our own tables to sellers. This means no more tearing apart our show to find tables, no more struggling to re-assemble the show, and no more misplaced linens. BrickFair has purchased 70 tables for this purpose. Tables are plastic, solid-top, 30"x72". This is a hefty investment. We will recoup this cost by implementing a $10 table fee to sellers, $5 for half-table. We hope this nominal fee doesn't discourage participation. These tables will also be available for other off-shoot gatherings and games. These new tables are only 6' long, as opposed to previous years' 8' tables. So half-tables are only 3' wide. Please be aware when signing up. |

Jun 20th 2019 RoboHockey Returns By popular request, RoboHockey has been re-added to this year's list of games. Check it out! Build and bring your own remote-controlled bot and fight to push pucks into your opponent's goal! This game is held during private hours. |

Jun 19th 2019 Double Bed Rooms Sold Out The Holiday Inn is working through our reservation list. They'd like everyone to know they are no more double-bed rooms. They do still have king beds. Those still on the list are being informed and offered the chance to accept king rooms. The Holiday Inn will continue working through the list until our block is consumed. Holiday Inn offers roll-away beds for $15.00 per night plus tax. There are other hotels 1.25 miles away. |

Jun 2nd 2019 Early Bird Meet & Greet If you arrive early, consider joining a cool group of grown-up LEGO nerds BrickFair eve for dinner, drinks, and conversation! 7:00pm Tuesday we'll gather in the Holiday Inn lobby. 8:00pm - 10:00pm move into Bob O's restaurant for dinner and drinks. If you're like some of us, and arrive a day early, consider mingling with nice folks the evening before the expo opens! |

May 3rd 2019 World of Lights vs Adult Swim As you may recall, last year at BrickFair Virginia we blundered and scheduled World of Lights to coincide with Adult Swim (our 21-and-over night). I assure you we will not repeat that mistake. World of Lights will be scheduled either earlier Saturday evening or move it entirely to Friday night. Either way, World of Lights will be open to all registered exhibitors. Todd |

Vignette Swap accommodates all players! |
