Tia Loewen from Steinbach with her winning "Lego Friends Hangout" design..

Over 28,000 Lego designs were submitted from around the world, when Lego asked for young people to design a hang out for their "Lego Friends" line. Tia designed a zoo, a mentor centre, a fashion boutique, a theatre and the one that caught their attention, the "Art Studio". A short list of the top 20 was named and Tia was on that list. She didn't make it into the top 20 but her design was named as one of the TOP THREE CANADIAN DESIGNS! For this accomplishment, Tia received $500 worth of Lego (the entire 2017 line of Lego Friends sets) and a $250 Toys R Us gift card.  Congratulations Tia and look where your imagination took you!!! WELL DONE!!
