Legoland unveils Obama 'inauguration'

CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Legoland California unveiled its latest mammoth Lego block sculpture Friday -- a "pre-enactment" of President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration.

Among the more than one thousand people represented in the display are the Obama family, Vice President-elect Joe Biden, his wife Jill Biden, outgoing President George W. Bush and Oprah Winfrey, XETV, San Diego, reported.

Britain's The Daily Telegraph said Lego brick representations of Aretha Franklin and Bill and Hillary Clinton are also among those in attendance at the mini-inauguration.

"Legoland California is all about education and interaction, so we thought what better way for kids to learn about government than put it on a scale that they can relate to," Julie Estrad, a spokeswoman for the Carlsbad, Calif., park, told XETV.
