participated, observed and judged. The weather was perfect, no rain, but a little overcast and a slight breeze kept everyone comfortable. Popsicle breaks for the kids and Pina Colada’s for the adults seemed to do just
the trick! Congratulations to our winners: Deserted Island Turtle: Bailey Hasler and Jessa Holt Red, White & Blue: Lelia, Brady and Hayes Denton Castle: Boston Stobbe w/dad, Clint. Boston showed incredible restraint in not knocking over their creation for well over an hour.
Participants in this year’s Sand Castle Building Competition. This will become an annual event, so start planning for next year’s creations!
