Fun in the Sun!
Looking ahead to next month is the annual Sand Sculpting Contest! Mark your calendars early as this community event is not one to miss. The contest is held on the lowest tide available, which falls this year on Friday, July 17, from 10am to 12:30pm.
It is free to enter! For those interested in entering, simply arrive at the Edmonds Marina Beach, just south of the fishing pier, at 10am where you will sign-up and begin the creation of your sand sculpture. Don’t forget to bring your own shovels, buckets, tools and of course your creativity! The beach is at your mercy as sand, shells, rocks, seaweed and sticks are all fair game.
At noon the judges will make their rounds and decide on their favorites. Since this event is open to all ages, the judging categories will vary based on age. Once decisions have been reached, the awards will be announced at 12:30. You can enter the contest as a team or even tackle the challenge individually. Team sizes have no limit. Don’t be afraid to show off your skills as this event is open to amateurs and those just looking to have fun.
Lacking the creative touch? Don’t worry, spectators are always welcome! Feel free to stroll along the sandy shores and be amazed by the beautiful creations of our town. From castles to sharks, you’ll surely be impressed.
A big thanks goes out to the sponsors of this fun and festive event, Nama’s Candy Store. Show your appreciation to this generous business by visiting them at 102 5th Ave S. for some delicious re-boosters after spending too much fun in the sun.
