A Sand-sational Way to Greet Summer at Meadowbrook Mall

Is it time to hit the beach?  Well, maybe not quite yet but a trip to Meadowbrook Mall will make you feel like you’ve arrived.  Center Court will soon be the home to It’s a Sandsational Celebration.  From May 5 through May 8, professional sand sculptors will turn over 20 tons of sand into a unique work of art with the theme of “Almost Heaven, West Virginia”.  Spectators are welcome to stop by, watch the sculptors work and maybe even pick up a few tips for your own creations.  It’s a Sandsational Celebration, sponsored by WBOY-TV and WDTV-TV, will be on display in Meadowbrook Mall’s Center Court for 12 weeks.

The creative force behind It’s a Sandsational Celebration will be sculptor Matt Long.  Since 2001, Long has created innumerable sand sculptures around the world for competitive, civic and corporate events.  He has placed in four World Championship competitions and was a cast member for the Travel Channel show Sand Masters.  He has created sand sculptures in far-flung venues like Thailand, New Zealand and New York’s Times Square.  Assisting Long will be fellow sculptors Brian Belcher, Brian Wigglesworth, Andy Daily, Greg Grady, Karen Fralich and Matthew Deibert.

Hot and Cold Refreshment

Is there anything better than a hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee?  Well, of course that sounds wonderful…unless you’re really in the mood for something cold and refreshing.  Both types of refreshment will soon be on tap at Roasted Ice Café at Meadowbrook Mall.   This tasty new addition to the Food Court is scheduled to welcome its first customers on February 27.

Roasted Ice Café will serve up hot drip and cold brewed coffee, as well as lattes and cappuccinos.  The featured brand will be Volcanica, derived from beans grown in volcanic soil, which imparts a rich, complex flavor.  In addition to coffee drinks, customers will be able to enjoy Hawaiian shave ice and Italian sodas in over 20 different flavors, including sugar-free options.

Nothing goes better with great coffee than some freshly-baked pastry.  Roasted Ice Cafe will offer plenty of tempting choices, including cinnamon rolls, scones, biscotti and pepperoni rolls.
