The annual September event brings out people of all ages to the beach along Windjammer Park to build driftwood sculptures using only material discovered on the beach that day.

Various awards were announced for participants’ creativity. Among the creations were a Lincoln Log Cabin, Bowling Alley, Robotics Logo, Teepee Village, Fossil Dig, Frank Zappa, Fort, Mussel Bed, Gator Babies, Passenger Train, Loch Ness Fossil Artifact and Sea-Witch Troll.
