Sand Sculpting at the Beach
Friday, June 19, 2009
Let's hope the sun finally comes out this month in time for the 10th annual PAL Sand Sculpture Contest at Penfield Beach.
This year, the PAL will offer two Sand Sculpture Contests. The first one will be in conjunction with the Fairfield Beach Residents Association's popular Sand Sculpting event. The PAL event is open to amateurs who want to try their hand at creating artwork at the beach.
When: Sunday, June 28, from 9:15 AM – 11:15 AM. Registration will begin at 9 AM.
Where: Penfield Beach
There is no charge for this event but registration is required. Registration forms will be available at the event. Just look for the PAL sign on the beach at Penfield on the day of the event.
Interested participants may register as teams or as individuals. Individual entrants must be 18 years old or under and teams must include at least one member 18 or under. Only objects found in nature may be included in the sculpture. Participants should bring any tools that they'll need to create their "masterpiece".
Prizes will be awarded for the following categories: Best Castle, Most Original Sculpture, Most Realistic Sculpture, and Most Artistic Creation.
Last year's event drew more than 70 entrants (many with several team members) and the creations were impressive. They included simple shapes, mermaids, alligators, castles, a turtle and a butterfly. Participants ranged from very young to grandparents helping with family team entries.
