Work on the castle began on April 1st, and the completed structure was ready for official measurement seven weeks later, on May 20.
According to Laura Ward, public
relations official for Jarretts Castle, the work was initially supposed to be even taller, at 38 feet and75 inches, but after a blue bird decided to scrape the top of the castle and meteorologists announced hostile weather conditions, the team hurried to get the sand castle certified before it got even shorter.
