When we were children I am sure most of us played in the sand. You remember the kid who was so good at making sand castles and all that? What happened to them? I bet one of these folks was "that kid!"
If you are in Florida in April (and who would not want to be?), check out The Art of Sand Festival.
"The Art of Sand Festival brings together nine of the world's most renowned sand sculptors to Florida's Space Coast to create a series of totally unique and enormous masterpieces out of almost 700 tons of beautiful white sand with some reaching an incredible height of 15 feet!"
I am going out back to practice my sand castle building!

Gary, We have heard a lot about the Sand Festival coming up. I am looking forward to it - I think it will be fun to see these amazing sculptors at work. I hope to see you there.
Gary, this sounds great. I just got my taxes done, so I think a trip to Brevard will be my reward!
Gary, We have competitions and demonstrations like this in NJ. They are amazing, quite intricate!
Laura - These are definitely not your average day at the bech sand castles, are they? Thanks.
Sylvia - You should come this way! Shuttle launch first week of April as well!
Sandy - I do hope to see you there. Thanks. One day we will have to meet in person....maybe a Board function!
Talk about new construction! This looks like great fun, Gary. (Here in the north we have ice sculpting contests - :-> ) My uncle, in Daytona, sent me some photos of the shuttle launch - what a sight.
Kathryn - Thanks. The shuttle is really a specatcular site - especially a night shot.
LAST YEAR I GOT TAKEN BY THE PICTURES THAT CANNON BEACH ORG, RAN ABOUT THEIR SAND CASTLE FEST, AND THEN I FOUND OUT THEY RUN THE FESTS RIGHT HERE IN FLORIDA. BUT EVEN FL DOESN'T PUSH THEM REALLY GOOD. HOW ABOUT A LISTING OF ALL FL FESTS, THEIR LOCATION, DATES, ETC. AND PLEASE DON'T USE OTHER FESTIVALS, TO PROMOTE YOURS BY USEING THEIR PICTURES. WHICH IS WHAT CANNON BEACH DOES.
Wally - I will take a look at the Florida Sand Fests schedule. I am not associated with any festival though. Thanks.
