The 21st Annual Don Cesar Dolphins to Dragons Sandcastle competition was held
on September 9th, 2000. Sponsored by the American Red Cross of Tampa, there
were about 15 contestants of all skill levels.
| Ty and I hit the beach at 6:40 am (Who says that all sandcastlers are
night-dwellers?) and started in on our castle. We were greeted by two network
television crews (ABC and FOX), two newspaper reporters (The Tampa Tribune and
one from the University of Florida) and hundreds of onlookers. |
The caption under the article reads:
"Ron Masters jumps back from building "September Sky" when
the real thing -- lightning -- startles him during the 21st annual Dolphins
to Dragons Sand Castle Creations. The competition was held on the beach
behind the Don CeSar Beach Resort and Spa in St. Pete Beach on Saturday.
Although a couple of creations remained unfinished by the time the rain
came, most were completed, a resort spokeswoman said."

We packed and carved sand from 7 am till the judging at 3 pm. What a lot of
work! But, boy was it fun.

To look at all some of the pictures that I took, use the navigation buttons at the left

Though our creation, "September Sky" didn't win any awards, I did
end up with a T-Shirt. (Now, isn't that nifty?) |
