Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce hosted the 47th annual Sandcastle Contest
The 47th Annual Sandcastle Contest was yesterday in Corona del Mar. The sandcastles are absolutely amazing. There are architecture firms, businesses, families and children competing in this event. It is a great way to spend the day with your family either building the sandcastles or just watching the incredible talent. I went to the sandcastle contest with my two daughters Heather and Morgan.
Here are some photos of the sandcastles.
Here is one called Gold in the Bird's Nest representing the Olympics in Bejing 2008.
This one here is called the "Sand Witch".
You can see the incredible detail that is put into each sandcastle. I thought this one was very clever!!
There were some other ones that were pretty interesting, and there was other tributes to the Olympics including this last one which was called "Going for Gold".
The people who built the sandcaslte's skill levels ranges from the very basic to the most detailed. For more information, rules and prizes, please view this page. The construction of the sandcastles was from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, and judging began at 3:00 pm. I was not able to stay for the judging because of an appointment, however I did go back when they were completed to view the finished products.

The pictures are very cool. It is amazing to see the talent that others have. We have some beautiful weather going on right now and with the offshore flow, I see the ocean from my home office. It's going to be a great day. You have a great one too Sharon.

Hi Sharon, just a quick question. How did you create your custom banner for your blog. Did you have someone do it for you or is there a tool for that?
Scott - my marketing department designed the banner. I use the same one for my newsletter (print and online). How did you do with the widgets?
Pretty good. I only have a short period of time in the morning to network on the Rain so I still have not worked on the Widget thing yet. I was able to insert pictures and so forth so I am good for now. Have a great day today Sharon.
Scott - let me know if you need any help and have a great day!!!
