LEGO Frozen 2 Olaf Box Jo-Ann Building Event on November 23

November 15, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO building event at Jo-Ann stores on November 23 for a LEGO Frozen 2 Olaf Box. The event will be held from 11am-2pm local time at your nearest Jo-Ann store. The make and take build features a small box with Olaf’s face on the cover. There will be limited quantities per store so get there early to secure your spot as it doesn’t look like there’s any registration for it. This building event will conflict with the Barnes & Noble Arendelle Castle building event so you’ll have to choose which one you prefer more unless you have another person to go for you. Thanks to Rainbow for the heads up.
