Today, Saturday, Nov 13, 2010 is day 3 for the 24th annual American Sandsculpting Championship on Fort Myers Beach. Locals know this event draws huge crowds to our island paradise. Last year saw over 40,000 visitors stroll the beach in front of the Fort Myers Beach Holiday Inn to see the master and pro-am carvers. I stopped by this morning to catch the progress of the carvings. It was a beautiful morning, there were plenty of smiling visitors and the artists were busy demonstrating their considerable talents. Enjoy !!!

My sand sculptures never turn out like this. These folks are truly artists. To bad the beach bully will knock them down.

Hi Scott, LOL, mine don't either ! Surprising how lang they last before they dry out and start to fall apart.
