Los Altos Hills residents Megan Hubble, Amanda Zunino, Jessie Cherry and Sarah Mason, all 11, took first place in the 9-14-year-old category at the Capitola Sand Castle Contest Sept. 3 for their sand sculpture creation, “Sunflowers on Vacation.” Their sand sculpture depicted a sunflower “family” relaxing on the beach and included a huge smiling mama sunflower over 20 feet long and two young sunflower buds building a sandcastle.
