2009 Fort Myers Beach 23rd Annual Sand Sculpting Contest - Final Day

The Fort Myers Beach 2009 Sand Sculpting Championship is in the books. It appears crowds this year were slightly less than last year. Perhaps the windy weather or economy held things down. Those in attendance were treated to an excellent contest and the following pics show the talent of the 16 Master carvers.

The themes ranged from the whimsical to the patriotic. This eagle was a crowd pleaser.
