Peace, Bricks & Happiness: LEGO Artist Rodney Dicus Featured on NKY History Hour Sept. 22

By day, Rodney Dicus is a firefighter and paramedic with the Burlington, KY, fire department. By night (and weekends), he plays with blocks.

Dicus is the founder and president of OKILUG (the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana LEGO User’s Group), a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting and constructing sculptures, buildings, creatures and other imaginative creations from the tiny, multicolored plastic bricks. He describes himself as a “LEGO enthusiast with a true love of the ‘brick’ who found many like-minded individuals to share the hobby and create, not only awesome builds, but an extended family through building and sharing.”

Dicus will discuss the history of LEGO and the passion he shares with other aficionados during the next virtual NKY History Hour at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 22. The presentation will take place via Zoom at 6:30 p.m. To register and participate in the free event, go to:  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvdOmgrDMsH9SYv3dyNu_uqf66lqLP4soi.
