Sand in the City 2013

Each year our agency puts on the sand in the city which is their biggest fund raiser all year. I volunteered to work the Kid Zone. I had a blast doing it. I was a little disappointed when I woke up and it was forecasted to storm all day. On my drive down to the Century Link the rain was coming so hard I could hardly see out my windshield I wanted to turn around and go home. I kept pressing forward and I am glad I did because the sand sculptures were amazing. The talent that the people have to put this on is amazing. They start and finish the sculptures the Friday before the Sand in the City and only have 6 hours to complete. So all the sculptures you see were done in 6 hours or less. This event is so much fun. Not only are there the sand sculptures but there is face painting, cookie decorating, and games for the kids and live bands playing in the background. Even though it was a little soggy all in all it was a great day.
