The Clamshell Foundation will host the returns of its annual Sandcastle Contest at Atlantic Beach in Amagansett on Saturday, August 14, starting at 10 AM. The rain date is Sunday, August 15.
The foundation was started in 1992 by the late Rossetti Perchik to support the people, programs, and projects on the East End.
The first annual East Hampton Sandcastle Contest took place on August 26, 1992, and has since been an annual tradition. The Clamshell Foundation partners to provide funds to groups including the Montauk, East Hampton, Amagansett, Springs, and Sag Harbor Food Pantries, East End Cares, OLA of Eastern Long Island, Soul Grow, and Olman Sanabria, along with others.
The cost is $10 to register and groups of up to six can compete in a variety of different categories.
