Judging begins at noon this year, making 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the best time for viewing the completed sculptures. The tide will determine how long the sculptures last.

An Oregon Heritage Tradition is an event with broad public appeal, with at least 50 years of con- tinuous operation and that contributes to the identity of the state.
