“PAL
SPONSORS SAND SCULPTING EVENT” |
For families and
individuals looking for adventure, creativity, and fun in the sun,
the Fairfield Police
Athletic League
is sponsoring their tenth annual Sand Sculpture Contest. This year,
the PAL will offer two Sand Sculpture Contests. The first one will
be in conjunction with the Fairfield Beach Residents Association’s
popular Sand Sculpting event. The PAL event is open to amateurs who
want to try their hand at creating artwork at the beach. It will
take place on the sandbar at Penfield Beach on Sunday, June 28, from
9:15 am – 11:15 am. Registration will begin at 9:00 am.There is no
charge for this event but registration is required. Registration
forms will be available at the event. There is no pre-registration.
Just look for the PAL sign on the beach at Penfield on the day of
the event.
Interested
participants may register as teams or as individuals. Individual
entrants must be 18 years old or under and teams must include at
least one member 18 or under. Only objects found in nature may be
included in the sculpture. Participants should bring any tools that
they’ll need to create their “masterpiece”. Prizes will be awarded
for the following categories: Best Castle, Most Original Sculpture,
Most Realistic Sculpture, and Most Artistic Creation.
Last year’s event
drew more than 70 entrants (many with several team members) and the
creations were impressive. They included simple shapes, mermaids,
alligators, castles, a turtle and a butterfly. Participants ranged
from very young to grandparents helping with family team entries.
All are welcome!
