Blue Water Sandfest won’t return this summer at Fort Gratiot County Park. Organizers say they’re taking a one-year break to rethink and reimagine Michigan’s biggest sand-sculpting event for next year. The Friends of the Fort Gratiot Light say the pause will help strengthen their mission and support restoration work at the historic lighthouse. Sandfest Chair LeeAnn Baker thanked sponsors and visitors for years of support and promised bigger, better plans when the event returns next year to Fort Gratiot.
