<p class="MsoNormal">In mid-December on a Saturday we had 125 people show up as we hosted Kelly Bartlett, LEGO Masters Season 4 contestant (she made it to the semi-finals).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kelly lives in Wilsonville and I got to know her through Oregon Battle of the Books where she’s been the official question editor for many years (among other OBOB jobs).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kelly brought samples of some of her LEGO creations, some LEGO Masters memorabilia, and a great PowerPoint showing where she gets her inspiration (picture books and elementary chapter books), more of her builds and photos from each episode.
Her LEGO artwork is also on display at LEGO headquarters and The LEGO House in Denmark.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I highly recommend having her at your library for a program. We advertised as a program for students- adults and we had the whole age range, kinders to adults. The program was great for everyone. You can email her at
<a href="mailto:kellyandjohnbartlett@gmail.com">kellyandjohnbartlett@gmail.com</a> and see more of her work at
<a href="https://kellybartlettbrickdesign.com/">https://kellybartlettbrickdesign.com/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
