This weekend the popular Alameda Sand Castle and Sculpture Contest at Robert Crown Memorial State Beach invites youngsters and adults to get creative, taking grains of sand and turning them into objects filled with meaning. To build taller, better sculptures traditional formulas prescribed approx. 12.5% water (1 bucket of water for 8 buckets of sand.) New research revises the amount of liquid to 1%. Put together a toolkit and you’ll be good to go!
