This summer, Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark is excited to continue its partnership with Adam Reed Tucker, an internationally renowned LEGO artist known for his artistic interpretations of architectural landmarks around the world. One of only 12 LEGO Certified Professionals worldwide, Tucker will return to the resort as a featured expert to host two new Mastering the LEGO Brick sessions in June and August.
During his first visit to Timber Ridge in March, Tucker unveiled his latest masterpiece: a 7-foot-tall, 100lb. Bruce the Moose statue made entirely of LEGO Bricks.
