  We are coming up on the halfway point of the show and all contestants are busy creating amazing designs. From cowboys and indians to wolves, masked dancers and even the pope.
  Mother nature throws us a curve ball. Due to the naturally shifting tidal sand and a beach renourishment project, we have found that the water drains very rapidly this year, causing the pound ups to be soft masses, and not the hard packed blocks we are used to.. Most carvers have already had to slightly alter their designs. Alexi alone, has come up with an entirely different theme. Now, a family of bears will be seen at his plot instead of angels.
 Working within the bounds of the medium is of course,much of the challenge in sand sculpting.
