1. Carol: Sandcastle 2011. There was good and bad. The bad had to do =
with the weather and the early incoming tide. The misty, drizzly, rain =
was constant. The crowd was estimated by Carol as being a quarter of =
last year. (Last year was a banner crowd year) The concessions had to =
close up an hour and a half earlier than expected because the police =
ordered the cars off the beach at noon instead of 130pm as anticipated. =
The good was that we had 5 Master plots and 35 others. And those =
attending were in a good mood, having a good time. George said that in =
his many years involved in the setup, this was probably the best. There =
were plenty of volunteers and Don Boehm along with John Nelson and his =
Coaster Construction crew and equipment were organized and ready for the =
task. Coaster Construction was not only a sponsor for the event, but =
also put the money up for the cash prizes. Plus they supplied new =
stakes, poles and signs which made set-up easier than ever. Master plots =
were circles with room for the crowds all the way around. =
George=E2=80=99s contest photos can be seen by clicking on the =
=E2=80=9C2011=E2=80=9D link at www.cannon-beach.net/sandcastle.html. =

2. Wendy: A people choice award, where flags are sold and placed on a =
plot of the holders choice. The plot with the most flags is the =
People=E2=80=99s Choice. George: Move the Masters onto the soft sand and =
supply them with water so that they can be preserved through Sunday. =
Right now everything is compressed into about 4 hours. Once the ropes =
come down, the thrashers go to work destroying the sculptures and the =
attraction is gone. In the mass exodus, people leave town without having =
visited our restaurants, shops or galleries. If people knew they could =
come back at sunset or even just arrive at sunset, they may take more =
time to see the town. Sunday could become a big day, especially when the =
weather is better on Sunday than on Saturday. =20
3. George: Debbie Nelson has said that she and Sam Steidel will not be =
doing the Wednesday Community Build next year. Jeff suggested we do it =
on Second Street where the car shows are held. If we did it still had it =
intact on Saturday during the main event, we could have more trafficking =
between town and the beach. =20

artists will be painting, sculpting and photographing throughout town. =
Info on artists locations will be available at the galleries. At 2pm on =

Vetter FotoArt in Village Centre, for a walking photo tour of the =
artists in action. Saturday evening galleries will have receptions for =

restoring the Cannons found on Arch Cape beach in 2008. Brennan is a =
Texas A&M grad student and this is his thesis. This is his first trip to =
the Oregon Coast since he was 11 years old. He and his school shared the =
trip expenses. He says the first cannon is restored and is almost =
pristine. Both cannons are from the USS Shark as is the one at our =
History Center. While Brennan is here, Robert and he are shooting video. =
Today they visited the site at Arch Cape and picked up some metal pieces =
that could be associated with the USS Shark. See cannon photos at =
http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/PARKS/cannon_photos.shtml. =20
