Lewisville High School looks to break record for world's longest mum
Homecoming season is here and while you will see plenty of huge mums out there, you won't see one bigger than the mum at Lewisville High School.
What they're saying:
Treece said it took a lot of planning, but the actual build only took about a week.
"When I was growing up, I didn’t really do Legos that much. But a couple of months back, she brought up that she really liked Legos. And it sparked the idea for her senior year, making sure she kinda had a childhood mum full of Legos," he said.
Afterward, he used the mum and the phrase "Lego 2 Hoco" to ask her to this year’s dance.
"I knew he was going to do something elaborate. He did something really cool last year. I love woodworking. And he made a mum entirely out of flexible wood petals," Hogan said.
She is planning to wear the Lego mum to homecoming using a lanyard.
