A man’s home is his castle. This afternoon, the Interfaith Housing Association hosted an event to help ensure that more Westport men and women have castles — or at least homes — of their own.
“Castles in the Sand” drew hundreds of people of all ages to Compo Beach. Working in groups of 5 to 20, they purchased over 30 “building lots,” at $100 and $300 per plot. The proceeds went to the IHA. The sand stayed there — or was tracked home.

Randy Williamson works on the Terex Corporation entry. Why an octopus? "No idea," he said. "I just showed up."
Robin Myers puts the finishing touches on a Sphinx. "There were kids working too, when we can find 'em," he reported. Among those kids: Egyptian-born Ramez Crump.
