Dear LEGO enthusiast,
As you probably already know, the LEGO Group is celebrating its 75th anniversary
this year. Nobody knows the exact date Ole Kirk Kristiansen started making
wooden toys, but in 1957 he decided to celebrate the anniversary on the
10th August and since then, this date has marked the founding of the LEGO
Group.
Friday the 10th August this year all LEGO employees throughout the world as well
as in Billund will celebrate the75th anniversary.
The anniversary will be celebrated from 11 am till 8 pm by a market place of
activities ending with a concert. As part of the market place, we would very much
like to give the LEGO employees the possibility of meeting a group of LEGO
enthusiasts to discuss your creations, what LEGO products has meant and means
to you and how you use LEGO elements in your creations. A tent of 100m2 will be
at your disposal.
We hereby invite you as LEGO enthusiast to apply as participant in the
anniversary celebration and showcase your best LEGO model as well as assist
the LEGO employees in building a LEGO mosaic.
We are looking for 20 LEGO enthusiasts and to give all of you a fair chance, we
would like you to send us an application with your name, address, a picture and
story of the model you would like to bring for the birthday party, before 15th of
June.
A LEGO jury will select the 20 LEGO enthusiasts.
The LEGO Group will pay your transportation fees (gas expenses or train fare),
accommodation (max. 2 nights) at LEGOLAND Village and invite you to a factory
tour on the 9th August.
We cannot thank you enough for helping us in making this a memorable day for
all LEGO employees and retired LEGO employees in Billund.
On behalf of the LEGO anniversary comity
