YOUR GUIDE TO MUSIC, ART, COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL EVENTS ON THE NORTH COAST
Ready, dig, build!
Master artists will build on tradition,
creating sculptures of sand that are washed
away by the next high tide at the 52nd an-
nual Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest in
Cannon Beach, Saturday, June 11.
The city hosts its annual contest, the
oldest competition of its kind in the Paciic
Northwest and the most popular event in
this Oregon Coast town. Dozens of teams of
professional sand sculpture 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 accom-
plish their monumental size.
Although the sand sculpture contest on
Saturday is the highlight of the weekend, vis-
itors 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
