YARMOUTH – Construction of more than 40 sand sculptures is now in its final stages and will be complete in time for the structures to be placed at Yarmouth area businesses and attractions later this month.
The elaborate creations are a popular component of the annual Yarmouth Summer Celebration, hosted by the town’s chamber of commerce, which is set to kick-off its 7th year on Saturday.
The structures, the largest of which tips the scales at nearly 25 tons, are erected by a team of professional sculptors form New Hampshire who cater their design to the particular place where it will go.
In years past, designs have included the names and logos of local businesses, nautical displays, and whimsical scenes. A full map depicting the locations of each sculpture is available online at YarmouthSummerCelebration.com
