Sandy tribute to Barbara Bush at Sugar Sand Festival

CLEARWATER BEACH (FOX 13) - One of the sand sculptors at this year's Sugar Sand Festival on Clearwater Beach has carved a sculpture of former first lady Barbara Bush.

The theme of this year's festival is "a celebration of America’s treasures," and most people agree that Mrs. Bush – who passed away this week at age 92 – certainly was an American treasure. 

“It's relevant,” offered sculptor Raymond Wirick.  “If you remember a couple of years ago, Prince passed away while we were working on the project and we did a memorial to him as well.”

This is the last weekend of Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival on Clearwater Beach, so if you haven't seen it yet, time is running out.
