From Sonny:
The 80th annual Great Sand Castle Contest is this weekend. Meet on the beach at the Granada snack bar between 9:00 and 9:30, Saturday, August 11th. If you can, bring large buckets, shovels, trowels, and straws. Yes, straws. Unfortunately, I will be out of town, but whoever gets there first should say that you are with me. I registered under my name (Sonic Pencr) and not OLB, because they did not ask for organization names.
Aside from creating the sculpture, it would be great if we could have at least a couple of people there all day Saturday and Sunday, 10 to 5, to engage the hundreds of spectators who will be looking at the sand sculptures.
