January 14-16, 2012--The "SCGOP
Experience" Weekend and "First in the
South" Presidential Debate brought many visitors to Myrtle Beach,
SC. In addition taking in the debate and related events and
enjoying the natural attractions of the area, visitors could marvel at
the "Mount Myrtle" sand sculpture portraying (from L-R)
Romney,
Gingrich, Huntsman, Perry, Santorum, Paul (Huntsman dropped out
the day of the debate). Other elements celebrated Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Myrtle Beach as a vacation destination. Team Sandtastic of Sarasota,
FL constructed the sculpture in collaboration with the Myrtle Beach Convention and
Visitors Bureau. The project required 525 tons of sand and
took five sand sculptors six days to complete. [press release] |
