2007 Sun Fun Festival Memories

The weather is getting warm, and I thought now would be a great time to reminisce about the 2007 Sun Fun Festival. Myrtle Beach has competed to build the tallest sandcastle during the last few Sun Fun Festivals.

Myrtle Beach won in 2006, but our title was lost later in the summer. We came back in 2007 fully prepared to regain our title. Even with Tropical Storm Barry bringing bad weather to the Myrtle Beach area, crews worked to build "The World's Tallest Sandcastle" and won! The official measurement was 49.55 feet. Because of the rainy weather, I did not see the sandcastle being built, but I was able to get some great pictures later in the week.

The 2008 Sun Fun Festival is scheduled for June 5th-9th. Another fun, family-friendly event in Myrtle Beach, the Beach, Boogie and BBQ is scheduled for Labor Day weekend, August 29-30, 2008.
