YouTube personality Andy Hancock will be kicking off the week on Monday, April 15th with free public demonstrations in the afternoons from 1:00 PM onwards so you can come and learn anything you want from a Beach Sand Sculpture Professional! These free Public Demonstrations will be every day through Thursday, April 18th. Press and Sponsors are welcome to come and film and ask questions. This is also your chance to buy tickets in advance to avoid the crowds and lines. In addition, Andy will be offering a very limited number (four only) of family group sandcastle lessons where participants will not only have a chance to learn what it takes to build a monster sculpture/ castle but will also include a BIG Bonus - if you wish to borrow a complete set of buckets and forms before you enter the Amateur Competition, they will be available to USE. Andy's only quote on winning is, "Time and teamwork are the most important!" Come and meet Andy who will be pleased to help you with almost anything! 

There will be NO public RV parking lot inside the bollards. Learn more about parking and shuttles at Texas SandFest here.
