Sandcastle Builders Return!

A unique friendship between two families began 17 years ago. at The Winds Resort Beach Club on Ocean Isle Beach.

For years the Delgado and Morrison families have coordinated their families’ summer vacations so that they could always be at The Winds simultaneously.

It all started when Bill Delgado, a printing and graphics teacher from Twinsburg OH, and his family began building a large sand sculpture on the beach.

Bill (as always) encouraged other children on the beach to join in.

In the midst of the project, the children of the Morrison family, from Detroit MI, introduced their parents, Lisa and Gordon, to the Delgados. They all became fast friends and the rest is history. The sand sculpture that year was to be the first of somewhere over 100 sand castles to be built by the Delgados and the Morrisons.

This year the Delgados return to The Winds for another go at it in early July. Look for them on the beach and if you want to -grab a shovel and join in!

One day last year Bill Delgado created Snoopy, a Sea Turtle and a Fish with sunglasses and a ball cap with help from Mary, Katherine, Hunter and others that joined in. Every day they created something different.
