    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.



     



    Jara should be cleaning his tools and washing his hands as the
    "Summer Beach Party" officially kicks off at 5 p.m. 
    Beach-goers can enjoy activities from 5 to 8 p.m. with a sand
    castle-building area for visitors to try their hand, Steel Drum
    shows by the Akron Steel Drum Band, a fishing demonstration area
    with Cleveland Metroparks staff, a kayak demonstration area with
    41� North Coastal Kayak Adventures, live animals from Lake Erie
    Nature & Science Center, a dive team exhibit with Cleveland
    Metroparks Rangers, and more! 



     



    And, enjoy beach games from 5 to 8 p.m. with a scavenger hunt,
    shake-n-bake contest, water balloon toss, relay races, hula hoop
    contests, beach blanket bingo, limbo, "Ranger" says,
    cornhole, beach volleyball, and more.  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 8 p.m.



     



    Then, be sure to bring beach blankets and beach chairs for the
    8:45 p.m. movie on the beach - "Free Willy" (the 1993
    movie classic).
