I LUG NY @ Hauppauge NY Public Library, 10/05/2024

The Hauppauge Public Library held its first all-day Comic Con-style event on 10/05/2024. ILUGNY played a central role, providing a display of many MOCs (My Own Creations) across 6 conference tables, and a Speed Build for children and their families.  The latter was directed by Damian M. and Bill M., with several others helping along the way. ILUGNY members brought new and continuing builds:
