The family fun and information day which attracts hundreds of people every year is now set for Sunday, Aug. 18, the final day of the Quality Foods Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition and Exhibition.
Details are yet to be confirmed, but it usually includes dozens of vendors, community booths and live entertainment.
