This Thursday, July 16, is the day planned for the City of Duluth's Parks and Rec Sand modeling Contest and Water Safety Expo. Pack the family for a day of fun and sun on Park Point! (Don't forget the sunscreen!)

The YMCA in Duluth has teamed up with the Parks and Recreation's Annual Sand Modeling Contest which begins at 10:00 a.m. There will be additional activities for your family from until 3 p.m. It's absolutely free and everyone is invited!

Annual Sandmodeling Contest

The event will take place at the Park Point Beach House which is located at 45th Street and Minnesota Avenue. Sand modeling teams are invited to create their own works of art in the sand from 11:00-1:30. Bring your shovels, pails, creativity and build a work of art. A panel of judges will review all the sand sculptures with prizes given in several categories.

Fun in the Sun

Then, stick around for fun activities like beach tug of war, hula hoop contest, water balloon toss, treasure hunt, and more with the YMCA staff!

Water Safety Expo

The Water Safety Expo is FREE to the public. There will be games and several demonstrations on safety topics such as rescue boards, throw rings, life jacket fittings, and more. Other demonstrations will include weather safety, rip currents, and kayaking. Various organizations will provide guests with tips on how to stay safe at the beach this summer, including information about severe weather, hypothermia, and, of course – rip currents. This will prove to be very valuable info for you and your family!

Take lots of pictures and share on the B105 facebook page....Good Luck!
