Hampton Beach New Hampshire * 7th Annual Sand Sculpture Contest*

Here is a very nice post my wife wrote yesterday in regards to a big event at Hampton Beach.  This should be a great activity for the whole family.

 I had meetings most of the day today but found a small window of opportunity that won't be available again until late Saturday.

So I took it and headed to the Beach.

I'd been itching to go all week because 300 tons of imported sand was dropped on Hampton Beach last Friday all in preparation for Hampton Beach's 7th Annual Sand Sculpture Competition.

This is something you just have to see as pictures simply do not do it justice. At least mine do not!   

There are 12 Masters of the Sand Sculpture Universe competing for over $10,000.00 in prize money.

You can meet the masters by clicking here >>>2007 Competitors.

When I arrived today only a few had started working on their sculptures but what I saw was incredible

On Saturday the 23rd the winner will be announced followed by an awards ceremony and fireworks. This is a big event at Hampton Beach but if you can't make it don't despair as the sculptures will be on display until the 28th.

It is very inspiring to watch it live so I highly recommend taking a trip to the beach to watch people create masterpieces out of simple sand and water. One thing I didn't know was that this is a timed event and each competitor has a total of 21 hours over a 3 day period to create their masterpiece. Wow!

The beach has lighted night viewing so if you can't make it till after work you can still take in the sights.

 The event is co- sponsored by Greg Grady and the "The Grady Bunch" built the mammoth Sand Demo Site that the competition is being held on.

Be sure to cast your vote for the coveted Peoples Choice Award on Saturday. It will be a hard decision for me to make and I haven't even seen them all yet!

This is just a small sample of what is being created at Hampton Beach this weekend. See you Saturday!!!

First I want to say I love your blog/posts... so informative. I also wanted to comment on the amazing art work displayed here at Hampton Beach. I always stop to view these exhibits with amazement - as I am not artistic at all. While visiting my mother in Florida last Thanksgiving I stopped and amired their sand sculpture exhibits as well. It's much like the incredible ice sculputes I've bought for special occasions... my hats off to such talents.
