Sandfest 2007 - Day 1


Sandfest 2007 kicked off this morning in Port Aransas.

In it's 11th year, the event is a 3 day festival drawing over 100,000 visitors and hosts solo and team master sculptors from around the world. With live music, food, sand sculpting lessons, amateur sand sculpting contests and activities for the little ones, it's sure to be lots of fun!

Today's weather was hot and sunny with high gusty winds, which made the sculpting a challenge! A centerpiece sculpture underwritten by event sponsors was completed and it is spectacular.

The Master sculptors have 21 hours to finish their creations. Judging will be held tomorrow, weather permitting. Forecasters are calling for rain so let's hope it holds off until the judging is over!
