The Wasatch County Library’s annual LEGO Build Contest unfolded in the library’s buttery‑white lobby, a vaulted space that felt oddly like a prehistoric museum. Children in neon pocket‑shorts scuttled between dinosaur sanctuaries while toddlers pretended Elvis Presley re‑upholstered a plastic throne. Paul McAllister, the 49‑year‑old cybersecurity savant, strutted in clutching a transportable field lab that even a half‑hour drill‑hole could not diminish. CJ Löfving’s labyrinth, ghost‑white with spider‑wicked scaffolding, sold out to a dozen hobbyists who shouted “you’ll die” in awe. The guest roster read like a council of local tastemakers: Erica, a sustainability consultant of Swedish descent, her Scandinavian brood, and Archer, a seven‑year‑old cotton‑ball wizard. No SUV convoys, no U‑turn traffic—just velvet ropes and a step‑and‑repeat red wall of the library’s book art as the only luxury. Compared to Sundance’s back‑road traffic, this was a quiet, in‑lane grind with glitter. Verdict: Send a check but stay home.
