Family Beach Pageant 2 ((better)) -

Sunny Shores Parks & Rec – (555) BEACH-FUN Rain date: The following Sunday. We will announce by 7 AM day-of via conch shell signal (and Instagram).

Forget tuxedos and ballgowns. We want sequin-covered rash guards, shell-encrusted bow ties, sandals with glitter straps, and linen suits paired with waterproof mascara. Each family will have 60 seconds to introduce themselves with a pose, a wave, or a dramatic turn. Bonus points for families who roll in on a wagon or surfboard.

Last year, we watched dads strut in snorkel fins, moms command the runway in oversized sun hats, and toddlers melt hearts with unintentional sandcastle destruction. This year, we are doubling the fun, the laughter, and the family-friendly competition. family beach pageant 2

As the sun dips toward the horizon, each family will walk the “runway” (a 50-foot stretch of packed sand lit by tiki torches). Outfits should reflect “elegance meets ocean.” Think flowing cover-ups, linen, dried flower leis, and maybe a fake (or real?) seagull on a shoulder. The catch: you must carry a melting ice cream cone without looking stressed.

We do this because every family deserves one day where the only competition is who can laugh harder. Sunny Shores Parks & Rec – (555) BEACH-FUN
