Children will be center stage this year at the annual Wayne County Builders Association Home Expo as they build their own dream homes using nothing but LEGOs and their own imaginations.

The third annual Children’s Building Contest, sponsored by All About Improving of Beach Lake, will give kids ages five to 12 an opportunity to have some fun, build a LEGO home and win prizes.
