Have you ever seen those giant sand sculptures and wondered how exactly they come together? If you’re going to be at any of the Cubs/Reds game this week, you’ll get the chance to find out firsthand. The folks from Visit Myrtle Beach have arranged to have 100,000 pounds of sand brought into the new plaza and will be working on the design throughout the day and during Tuesday’s game.

“We have a 50+ ton sand sculpture in the new Park at Wrigley, to be completed later today,” said Rachel Ammon of VMB. “The sculptors are going to be working on one side of the design even after gates open so fans have a chance to see how they carve the sculpture

“Once it’s complete, the sculpture will be up through Thursday for fans to enjoy — we think it provides a fun and unique photo opportunity.
