The creator of a sand castle built nearly 32 feet (10 meters) tall to raise funds for terminally ill children and their families hopes the structure will be named the worlds tallest.
The elaborate sand castle measured at a height of 31 feet and seven inches (about 9.6 meters) organizers said Saturday. Plans called for verification paperwork to be sent to Guinness World Records, which will determine whether the castle makes the record book.
Ed Jarrett, who created a 29¼-foot (nearly nine-meter) sand castle in Falmouth in 2003 that was declared the world”s tallest, organized the "Castle to the Sun" event to raise funds for Camp Sunshine.
More than 1,000 people volunteered over the past two months to help build the castle, which used 40 dump truck loads of sand, organizers said.
