Sand sculptures take shape at Lakewood on Parade

Article Contributed on: 8/26/2007 6:53:48 PM

The Denver chapter of Engineers Without Border held their inaugural sand sculpture competition during Lakewood on Parade on Aug. 25. Participants rolled up their sleeves, kicked of their shoes and got down 'n' dirty with piles of sand. The teams had from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to build their sculptures and judging began at 1 p.m.

Onlookers voted for their favorite sculpture, with each vote costing $1. Proceeds went to support the chapter's ongoing sustainable projects in Africa and South America. According to Kurt Snitker, one of the committee members for the sand sculpture competition, the event raised about $5,500.

Thanks for the great coverage. We hope everyone had a great time and we plan to be back next year - bigger & better. The facial hair on the engineer gnome was reportedly harvested the morning of the contest from a cooperative Irish Wolfhound.

Those sand sculptures rock! My favorite has to be that gnome. Although, I think the fallen chess pieces are creative.

Engineers Without Borders is such a cool group. If only that accursed engineer's gene hadn't skipped a generation with me...
