The 24th Annual Leap... imagination in learning Sandcastle Classic October 6, 2007

Where: Ocean Beach, San Francisco (Great Highway @ Balboa)
Who: Anyone interested (see below)
Why: To raise funds for Leap's educational programs in our local elementary schools (fund raising has already been done, but if you want to contribute before hand you can go to the site below and donate to a team.
Specifics:

The Sand Castle Classic is a spirited competition between teams of architects, engineers, contractors, and a local elementary school to build giant theme-related 20'x20' sand sculptures. There are over 20 teams scheduled to compete in this year's competition. Thousands of people attend the event every year.
If you're interested:
Spectator -- the event draws a huge crowd to the beach and is a spectacle to behold -- everyone is welcome to come experience it. The best viewing is typically as the castles are taking shape, approximately 1-2pm. There will be a live band on site and a raffle. There is a central corridor that allows easy viewing of all the teams' work. It's a great place to spend an afternoon cruising the beach. The weather is typically very nice. This weekend also corresponds with Fleet Week and the Bluegrass festival in GG Park.
Destroyer -- show up at 3pm and you can be one of the people to demolish the work afterwards.
