We are excited to announce that we will be returning to The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows as part of the Way of Lights activities this holiday season! We will once again be located in the Visitor’s Center. This is our premiere annual event and a great time to celebrate the holidays and see some great LEGO displays of all sizes and themes! This is the tenth anniversary of our first appearance at the Way of Lights, so we’ve got some great things planned!
Hours and directions, as well as a few photos from last year’s display, are below. Note that just like last year we are not opening at the same time as the rest of the lights this year in order to give us ample time for setup.

(closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Day)
Tickets are $5 for Adults and children 4 and over (children 3 and under are free). Tuesday night is family night, and tickets are only $4. Monday night veterans and active service military members can also get tickets for $4.

When our club first formed almost 20 years ago, we were primarily a LEGO train club that exclusively displayed at model train events. We’ve since branched out, but every once in awhile it’s nice to get back to our roots and do train-exclusive events. We’re excited to be returning to the Greater St. Louis Metro Area Train Show for the third straight year at the Meramec Community College Gym in Kirkwood. Our train-crazy members always love to bring out their engines, rolling stock and other railroad goodies, all made of LEGO parts.
Check the Mississippi Valley N Scalers website as the date gets closer for flyers and additional information. Adult admission is $10 at the door, and kids 12 and under are free!

We are thrilled to once again be participating in the St. Louis County Library’s LEGO Event at the Clark Family Branch (formerly Headquarters) in Kirkwood! Last year’s event featured displays to see, lots of play brick and interactive building opportunities, LEGO Education SPIKE workstations with instruction and assistance from club members, build-and-take-a-minifig with our friends at the Minifig Shop, and plenty of our games and activities. See the library’s event page for details.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Enterprise Mobility Foundation, we were able to drop off 178 polybags and 25 boxed sets at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital on Tuesday, May 13th. Special thanks to Karen and David for making the deliveries.
Thanks to the efforts of some deal-hunters in Gateway LUG combined with some corporate donations and the proceeds from our recent show at the Way of Lights, we were able to drop off a cache of small sets and polybags valued at approximately $1000 each to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, and Mercy Hospital St. Louis on Friday, February 28th. Special thanks as usual to Karen, our charity coordinator, for making the deliveries.
The GtwLUG is pleased to return to Anime St. Louis in 2025 for our sixth consecutive appearance. We will be back in the same room we’ve been in for the past two years with displays as well as play brick. If you attend the event, please stop by and see us!
