When Sand Castles Explode because people think it will make it more interesting since they can't do it with Beer: Pacific Beach Fest is Saturday

Ahhh my PB is having their annual non alcoholic Beach Fest, in October (that would be this weekend, Saturday specifically). Only in San Diego are you gonna get an October Beach Fest (because I grew up near the beach in Northern California and all we did in October is sit near the heater). They promise fun, the beach and the Sand Blaster Sand Sculpture Contest complete with The Travel Channel AND Explosions (appealing to the 10 year old boy in all of us).

Sand Blasters is a premiere sand sculpting competition, featuring eight teams of world-class sand sculptors. For two days, it's a mad race against the clock, the elements and possible detonation. Throughout the weekend sculptures will be chosen by random to face the ultimate challenge of the odds, EXPLOSION! But there’s no pity party here, the time keeps ticking to see who can build and rebuild to create a true masterpiece in the sand. Judges choose 1st place, 2nd place, and "Best Recovery" to determine who will walk away with a share of $15,000 in prize money.

I can't wait for that TV show. When Sand Castles explode... next on The Travel Channel.
