Irene: Not exactly...but I do know that they had only 21 hours to do it. So, that's the most time they could have spent on their masterpiece.

Steve: It's something you really should try to see next year. They look pretty cool in the pictures, but so much better in person.

Roger: I did enjoy it and they are very talented. It's really amazing when you see them up close and see the detail. By the way...I had that piece of pizza for you today. It was delish.

Amazing size and detail in these sculptures. It looks like the cat in the lower left hand corner has some social media icons in it.

Hi Sharon, I am always amazed at the talent of creating art out of sand. Somehow I do wish there was a way to save some of these amazing creations. Well done and really enjoyed that great talent and great photos.
