7th Annual WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SAND SCULPTURE COMPETITION
HARRISON HOT SPRINGS, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Homepage
SEPT. 4-8, 1996
Okay, it was wet, it was chilly and there were some real heartbreaker
collapses but how can this year's event be considered any thing less than
successful? When the rain finally let up and the sun came out, the works
of some 158 scuptors from four Canadian Provinces, nine US states, Russia,
Holland and Japan had built some of the finest sand sculptures ever seen
anywhere and I think it safe to say that they had twice as much fun as any
500 normal beachgoers would have while they were at it. Special thanks to
John Green, Bob Bell, Bruno of the Conca D'Oro, Stewert Peddemore of Trolls
Restaurant, and all the wonderful people of Harrison Hot Springs who made
us all feel so very welcome.
We will continue to add pictures as they come in - so if you are a sandsculpting
fan get your butt back here real soon!
