Sunny skies and a warm, humidity-free day provided the perfect backdrop for the 6th annual Sand Sculpture Contest at South Beach in Edgartown on Wednesday last week. The event is sponsored by the Edgartown Board of Trade.
More than 60 beachgoers turned out to sculpt buckets of sand into whimsical shapes. The most popular theme this year was the Olympics, according to Janice Donaroma, co-organizer along with Kayla Smith.
Jeff Donaroma, Libby Ellis, Bonnie DeSousa, Carlos DeSousa and Abbey Smith had the difficult job of picking the winners, listed below.
