LOCALS of all ages gathered at Causeway Bay's Time Square over the Easter holidays to get a LEGO tower into the record books as well as raise cash.
Called ''The LEGO World Record Tower 1994'', the event was organised by LEGO Toys and co-organised by Commercial Radio One and Times Square.
It was also a good opportunity for families to get together during the holidays.
Participants, who looked clearly determined to break the existing record for the world's tallest LEGO tower set up by the Swedes, also donated $10 each for the Hong Kong Council of Early Childhood Education and Services (CECES).
As well as piling on the bricks to build the tower, the participants received a charity game coupon to take part in a ''guessing game'' and win prizes.
A brick-laying ceremony was held last Friday to launch the event.
Danish Consul-General Lars Guldborg, representatives from CECES and pop artistes such as Kenny Ho Ka-king, Andy Hui Chi-on, Irene Wan Pik-ha, Tommy Su Yiu-peng, Vivian Lai Sui-yan and Sam Tsang Hong-sang, were invited to attend the ceremony.
