While out meandering around the city the other day, I am came across a neat little exhibit in Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown. While a far cry from the sand castles of my youth, these sand sculptures were pretty neat. I even caught one in the process of being finished. All I know is that back in my days of sand sculpting, trowels, squirt bottles, and wooden frames were not part of the standard issue equipment.
Anyhoo, check out these dandy little pictures: Overview of the festivities (did I mention there was music and food going down as well?); Calvin and Hobbes lookalikes; reading brings the world alive unless there is a dragon under your bed unless, of course, he is a smiley dragon; and a Burgerville Display.

My window to culture and neat stuff.The sand out here is not conducive to building neat things, unless you think a cathole is neat. ************************ on Wed 18th Jul, 2007 10:36 pm PDT Cyndi said: Try this world championship sand castle contest at Harrison Hot Springs, CAN. It is fantastic. http://www.harrisand.org/ Sorry Chris, no comparison. We went for two days last year and got to vote for our favorites. Tournament of champions is on display now. http://harrisand.org/toc.html ************************ |
