Feb 22, 2019 | 11:40 AM

PARKSVILLE — Tourists and community-minded residents will be the company of legends and mythical titans when visiting Parksville Community Beach.

The myths and legends theme was chosen for the 2019 Sand Sculpting Competition and Exhibition, as voted by the community.

Event manager Wendy Sears said the theme earned 40 per cent of the nearly 700 online votes, triumphing over planes, trains and automobiles or carnivals.

It was also the favourite among sculptors who had a chance to vote.
