Audra Horton, 11, of Meadowview, Va., crafts a work of art from a giant cookie Wednesday on the Ocean City Music Pier.
Ocean City’s week of family-oriented contests continues Thursday with paper-clip sculpting.
The event is a tradition that happens twice a summer. The first week started Monday with saltwater taffy sculpting and continued Tuesday (French fry sculpting) and Wednesday (cookie art and a superhero and super villain costume contest).
The second week (appropriately titled “Weird Week”) takes place in August. All events are held at the Ocean City Music Pier (on the boardwalk at Moorlyn Terrace) and each day the events start at 11 a.m.
Entry in the contests is free and prizes are awarded. Age divisions include 5-and-under, 6-8, 9-12, teens and adults.
The contest schedule is as follows:
- Thursday: Contestants sculpt paper clips, which have resulted in such past entries as the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Friday: Events wrap up with BEADAMANIA, a second-year event that asks contestants to make artwork out of beads (beads supplied).
