Sandcastle

The Rex Ross WebSite commissioned the The American Institute of Architects to organize and
conduct a Sandcastle Contest at Galveston East Beach on June 4, 2005.

Photgraphers were then dispatched by the Rex Ross Web Site to capture the contest entries.

Fans of the Rex Ross Web Site came from far and near.

Some fans set up fancy base-camps.

Rex Ross Web Site crowd control staff kept things moving along.

Several celebrities such as "Hooch" from the movie "Turner & Hooch", attended.
