🧱 BURKE COUNTY KIDS — IT’S TIME TO BUILD.

The Studio by UNEEK TREE is proud to officially announce the 1st Annual Burke County LEGO® Building Championship! 🏆

This is your chance to dream it. Build it. Tell its story. And show Burke County what you can create.

🏆 THREE AGE DIVISIONS
• Ages 3–5
• Ages 6–8
• Ages 9–12

💵 $5 TO ENTER

And this competition is about more than building.

100% of entry-fee proceeds will be donated to Burke County Smart Start and South Mountain Children’s Home.

Every entry helps support organizations making an impact in the lives of children right here in our community. ❤️

🎁 AND YES… THERE ARE PRIZES.

The winner of each age division will receive:

💵 $100 CASH
📸 Free Family Photoshoot from The Studio — $250 value
🍦 Two Myra’s ice cream cones every month for an entire year
🎟️ Family passes to Marbles Kids Museum
🥤 Custom Championship tumbler
👕 Championship T-shirt
🏆 Recognition at Myra’s
🧱 Winning creation displayed at The Studio for one month
🖼️ Winner photo framed and displayed at Myra’s

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Build something completely original using LEGO® bricks. No boxed-set builds. No parent help. We want to see what YOU can create.

Parents will submit exactly 5 photos documenting the build—from the beginning, through the process, to the finished creation—along with the child’s written story about what they created.

📅 SUBMISSIONS CLOSE NOVEMBER 6

Finalists will be selected in each age division and presented to an incredible panel of local judges from across Burke County.

Greeeeeennnnnnnn....

🎄💚 WE FOUND OUR GRINCH. 💚🎄
And apparently… he found Valdese. 👀

First, we want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who emailed us, commented, sent DMs, shared photos, and reached out about playing the Grinch.

We truly loved seeing how much passion everyone has for bringing this character to life. We wish we could bring all of you!

But this guy…

He stole the show.
No pun intended. 😏

Today we got him into The Studio by UNEEK TREE for his first official photoshoot—and then let him loose in Downtown Valdese for a little filming.

That may or may not have been a mistake.

You'll be seeing a lot more of him soon.

He's joining us as part of something we're putting together for the holidays:

🎄 CHRISTMAS AT THE STUDIO: A UNEEK EXPERIENCE
📅 November 28 | 3–5 PM
📍 The Studio by UNEEK TREE | Downtown Valdese

We're not ready to reveal everything just yet.
Let's just say we're working to create a different kind of Christmas experience for families in our community—with a few familiar faces, a few surprises, and apparently… a little mischief.

🎟️ Tickets will be available online soon, along with more information about the experience.

For now, follow the page and keep watching.
We've got a lot more to reveal. 👀🎄

Do you know anybody?

🎃 YES, WE KNOW HALLOWEEN HASN’T EVEN HAPPENED YET.
Trust us—we’re Halloween people too. 😂

But we’re already working behind the scenes on something special for Christmas in Valdese, and we’re being proactive as we build an event we think the community is going to have a lot of fun with. 🎄

As part of the planning, we’re looking for experienced HOLIDAY CHARACTER PERFORMERS who are great at interacting with kids and families and know how to create a memorable experience.

Interested? Email [email protected] with:
• Photos or examples of previous character performances
• Videos or other examples of your work
• Your availability between November 15 – December 20
• Your hourly rate

Already have professional-quality costumes and experience performing at holiday events? We’d especially love to hear from you.

Know an awesome character performer? Tag them or share this post with them!

And yes… we realize it’s September.

Now back to Halloween. 🎃
