Versailles artist Damon Farmer, a Berea native and Berea College graduate, works on his latest sand sculpture Friday at Berea City Park as part of the city’s 4th of July Spectacular. The sculpture, which includes 20 tons of sand, commemorates the 40th anniversary of the first man to walk on the Moon. Farmer began the sculpture Wednesday and expects to finish it Saturday, after about 35 hours of carving, before the fireworks begin at the park.

People who make sand castle are amazing, or even the structures they make. They are all wonderful pieces of art. The person who made that master piece was talented. He has true talent in him. :D
