Virtual Sandcastle Contest Set For Saturday
No coronavirus can cancel the fun of The Clamshell Foundation's annual Sandcastle Contest. This year, compete virtually — here's how.
AMAGANSETT, NY — A beloved annual summer event in Amagansett, the Clamshell Foundation's Sandcastle Contest, now in its 29th year, was canceled due to the coronavirus. But the fun continues Saturday, with a virtual contest planned.
"We miss you and are sad we were not able to host our annual Sandcastle Contest in person this year," said Kori Peters, president of The Clamshell Foundation, said. "To keep the tradition going strong, we invite you to compete virtually! No matter if you are at the beach or in your backyard, send us your creation big or small."
