A young resident of North Beech Plain Road won the best Star Wars creation at the Lego exhibition held May 23-24 in Springfield.

Andrew Adams, 13, began building his Star Wars MOCs last year. MOC stands for "My Own Creation" and exhibitors do just that, build without preplanning or instruction books. He was accepted to show his creations in the Brick convention and won by simply gathering pieces and starting to work based on his imagination and experience.

His polished and sophisticated creations are the result of ten-years' experience building and deconstructing his own Lego creations. A 7th grader at Lee Middle School, Andrew is a graduate of Farmington River Elementary School.
