We had so much talent submitted for the Montana Memory Portal and Western Heritage Center’s 2026 LEGO Competition. Thank you to everyone who submitted entries, as well as to our judges — Allyne, Trevor, and Brad — whose enthusiasm made the event even more special. Each piece showcased incredible detail and creativity. We can’t wait to celebrate Preservation Month again next May in 2027!
