The 12th Annual Sandcastle Days
South Padre Island, Texas
Oct. 15 - 18, 1999
The San Marcos Suns

The EVENT,  Sandcastle Days 99' is now only a memory, and the San Marcos Suns had another grand time. The weather was beautiful, water was warm, and the contest was on the beach at the Surf Motel, home of the famous Boomerang Billy's Beach Bar.  The Suns did a group build over a three day period and over 25 teams competed on Saturday for best in the sandcastle competition. I think Walter had the right plan, start at the top and finish on Sunday.

The results from Saturday's competition are posted on the official web site for Sandcastle Days, http://www.sandcastledays.com   We would like to thank all the sponsors of this event and especially Mary K. Pollard (Event co-ordinator, SPI CVB) for all of her hard work in getting this event to happen as well as the SOB's for their contributions.
