    It's amazing how tens-of-thousands grains of sand can be sculpted
    into incredible master pieces.

     

    Come see a sand sculptor creation at Cleveland Metroparks free
    "Summer Beach Party" event on Saturday, August 7 from 5
    to 11 p.m. at Huntington Beach in Huntington Reservation in Bay
    Village.

     

    Nine-time World Champion Carl Jara will arrive in the morning to
    begin 'playing in the sand' to carve, sculpt and make another sand
    sculptor masterpiece. 

    Carl Jara: is a local prodigy and has been featured twice on
    The Travel Channel.  Jara has won just about every honor there
    is to win as a master sand sculptor.  He is the only sculptor
    ever to have won more than one Sculptors Choice Award at the World
    Championships.  Jara has competed in eleven countries, more
    than two dozen states and continues to make a living "playing
    in the sand."  In addition to sand sculpting, Jara works
    for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History as the Exhibits
    Artisan/Technician.

     

    Just as Jara is completing his sand sculptor, the "Summer
    Beach Party" officially kicks off.  Beach-goers can enjoy
    activities from 5 to 8 p.m. by trying their own hand at building
    sand castles, a fishing demonstration area with Cleveland
    Metroparks staff, and kayak demonstration area with 41� North
    Coastal Kayak Adventures.  Plus, enjoy live animals from Lake
    ErieNature & ScienceCenter, a dive team exhibit with Cleveland
    Metroparks Rangers, Island Jeff's Steel Drum Show, and
    more! 

     

    To continue the fun, beach-goers can also enjoy beach games and
    activities from 5 to 8 p.m. including: a UFO sighting scavenger
    hunt, shake-n-bake contest, flying saucer water balloon toss,
    Reese's Pieces relay race, hula hoop contest, beach blanket bingo,
    limbo, "Ranger" says, cornhole, beach volleyball, and
    more. 

     

    Day-of registration is required to participate in all games, and
    space is limited.  Prizes will be awarded.

     

    And, as the sun sets across the night skies, warm up at the
    campfire and enjoy the ever-entertaining Musical Mark at

    Then, be sure to bring beach blankets and beach chairs for the 8:45
    p.m. movie on the beach - "E.T." (the 1982 movie
    classic).
