Suspected Vandalism Damages Parksvillle Sand Sculptures

Organizers say sculptors are repairing damaged works before the exhibition opens, and the society is offering a reward for information.

  • On Sunday, several sculptures in this year's Quality Foods Sand Sculpting Competition in Parksville were damaged overnight in what organizers believe was an act of vandalism.
  • The Parksville Beach Festival Society says it is "deeply disappointed" following the damage, forcing competing sculptors to spend valuable time repairing their creations instead of focusing on completing them.
  • Cheryl Dill, president of The Parksville Beach Festival Society, stated that the hard work of sculptors, volunteers and staff was affected by this incident.
  • A reward is being offered for information leading to the identification of those responsible, with organizers asking anyone with knowledge to contact local police.
  • Despite the setback, sculptors are working to repair the damage to ensure visitors can enjoy the sculptures throughout the Parksville Beach Festival five-week run.
