Sun, surf and serious sandcastles in Coney Island
Your medium? Sand. The limits? Only your imagination. Well, that and a four hour time window to build the castle of your dreams.
The 33rd annual Coney Island Sandsculpting Competition takes place Saturday, Aug. 16. It runs from noon to 4:00 p.m. and during those hours, contestants will race to convert a mound of wet beach sand into a masterpiece.
Jodi Querbach with Brooklyn Community Services ran the event for years. She joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to explain what makes the event such an essential Coney Island tradition.
