will prove why Arterberry
has earned such honors as
Ready, dig, build!

CANNON BEACH —
Master artists will build on
tradition, creating sculptures
of sand that are washed
away by the next high tide
at the 52nd annual Cannon
Beach Sandcastle Contest
in Cannon Beach, Saturday,
June 11.
The city hosts its annual
contest, the oldest competi-
tion of its kind in the Paciic
Northwest and the most
popular event in this Oregon
Coast town. Dozens of teams
of professional sand sculp-
ture artists, amateur groups
and families will construct
creations in the sand during
the event. The masters
division teams compete for
cash prizes and construct
large, elaborate creations
often utilizing construction
forms similar to those used
for pouring concrete in order
to accomplish their monu-
mental size.
Although the sand
sculpture contest on Satur-
day is the highlight of the
weekend, visitors will ind
other activities to keep them
busy, which include a Friday
night concert at the Coaster
Theatre featuring 3 Leg
Torso, an award-winning
quintet specializing in an
eclectic synthesis of chamber
music, tango, klezmer, latin
and Gypsy music. Additional
weekend events include a
parade, beach bonire and 5K
fun run and walk.
Judging of the sandcastles
is at 1:30 p.m., making 11:30
a.m.-2 p.m. the best time
for viewing the completed
sculptures. The tide will
determine how long the
sculptures last.
In 2014, the Cannon
Beach Sandcastle Contest
was recognized as an Oregon
Heritage Tradition by the
Oregon Parks and Recreation

SANDCASTLE HISTORY
A tsunami is credited with being the genesis of the
Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest.
An earthquake in Alaska in March of 1964 created
a tsunami wave that washed ashore on the North
Coast. Cannon Beach’s downtown sufered from
looding and the Ecola Creek Bridge was washed
away.
Local residents got together that summer to put on
a community Sandcastle Contest to raise spirits.
Recognizing the potential draw of such an event,
the event was promoted to the public the next
year in an efort to bring tourists back to town. The
event grew, began attracting tens of thousands
of visitors and more than 50 years later, the Sand-
castle Contest weekend is still one of the busiest
weekends of the year for Cannon Beach.
Department, making it one
of just 11 events statewide to
achieve such a designation.
An Oregon Heritage Tradi-
tion is an event with broad
public appeal, with at least
50 years of continuous oper-
ation and that contributes to
the identity of the state.
Make lodging reserva-
tions early for this weekend
as hotels typically sellout all
rooms in advance.
Day-trippers should plan
on arriving early.
The Sandcastle Contest
is the only day of the year
when the beach is used for
parking to accommodate the
large crowds.

Cannon Beach Sandcastle
Contest or information on
how to participate, contact
