The biggest American flag ever made out of LEGO “bricks” will be displayed in the lobby of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum to celebrate Flag Day on Saturday, June 13. It’s made of 127,000 LEGO “bricks” and portrays the stars and stripes waving. It will be on display for one month, June 12 to July 12, including the 4th of July weekend.
The dramatic showing of America’s colors is 8 x 12 feet and weighs 300 pounds. It conforms to the U.S. Flag Code and is reinforced with one inch diameter steel pipe.
The flag will arrive at the Library on Friday, June 12 and be set up from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
The LEGO flag was created by Orange County resident Ted Michon of Irvine. He’s an electrical engineer and President of the Southern California LEGO Train Club.
The Library and Museum will be open Flag Day from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at 18001 Yorba Linda Blvd., Yorba Linda. For information call 714/993-5075.
Very cool, great story!
This will be a lot of fun. Group builds are a great time. And Ted is a brilliant Lego mastermind!
