Toy tower goes for world record

Lego will attempt to build the world's biggest Lego tower this weekend at the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto.
With the help of thousands of CNE visitors, the tower will be built brick by brick an an effort to trump the current record of 28.58 metres. A group of building stations will be set up in a tented area on site so that dozens of kids and adults can help assemble the sections at all times. As each section is completed, it will be raised into place by a boom crane.
Once completed, the tower should stand more than nine storeys tall, looming over the CNE skyline and the Gardiner Expressway. The Tower will be up until the CNE on Sept. 3, and be dismantled after Labour Day weekend.
