I didn’t know what to make of it.
This weekend is our LEGO Competition, followed by our Labor Day cookout on Monday and our big raffle basket drawing.
Some of you may not have realized this, but I worked in hospitals for years before teaching and opening Lost and Found. I worked at the four letters for nine years and I spent eight years at a small community hospital. Naturally all that hospital work has allowed me to give deep consideration about what the most common procedure would be at a LEGO hospital. Plastic Surgery!
Of course considering what I do now, running a soda fountain pharmacy, reminds me of a knock knock joke.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Ice cream.
Ice cream who?
Ice cream (I scream) when I step on a LEGO!
We want to encourage kids in first through sixth grade to come in and join us for our LEGO Competition this Saturday, September 3rd, starting at 11. There is no entry fee and there will be prizes!
We also Want to remind everyone one last time to come in and check out our raffle baskets. The raffles will be drawn on Labor Day @ 4PM.
