This sands like fun

You won’t need to build a castle or mermaid at this sand art competition – just grab a rake and get to work on the beach at Roads End State Recreation Area this Saturday, Aug.  7.

Participants will have up to two hours to craft a creation on the themes of “Migration,” “Your Spirit Animal” and “Nature’s Families.”

And, not only will your entry fee of $20 help support the Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative and its programs for education, climate and community, you or your team of up to four may win one of three $100 prizes awarded in the categories of Best Artistic Graphic, Best Story Graphic and Best Scientific Graphic.

Enter early to snag one of the available 20’ x 20’ sand plots to carve your artwork, or just attend and observe as the artistic creations come to life. Bring your own rake or borrow one from event organizers while supplies last. No previous sand art experience is required.

All teams will also be entered into a Grand Prize drawing.

Roads End State Recreation Area is located at 5901 NW Logan Road in Lincoln City. For more information, go to cascadehead.org.
