  According to Ken Munroe, president of the Ocean County board of directors, the sandcastles — which were required to be 2 feet tall, 2 feet wide, and have four seven-inch turrets on top – were verified by a panel of on-site judges.

  "What a celebration of the 15th anniversary of this organization," said Sue Sedevic, CEO of the Ocean County chapter. "It brought the 'bigs' and 'littles' together to do something special to make people aware of our services and let them know how important this work is."
