The 30th Annual US Open Sandcastle Competition is headed to South Bay City, Imperial Beach, California next weekend. Sandy fun takes over the community for three days as adult teams work together to build works of art from sand and compete for more than $20,000 in cash prizes. There will also be music on the beach and a 140-vendor street fair all weekend long.Tucked inside this major community event is a smaller sandcastle activity just for kids. Organized by the Imperial Beach Optimist Club, the Kids-N-Kastles competition is open to children under 12 years of age and will be held on Saturday afternoon.
