The new design and theme logo for the upcoming 57th Annual Beaufort Water Festival has been unveiled.  This year's theme 'Sandbar Summers ~ Southern Nights' carries on the current popularity of the iconic local Beaufort Sandbar:  the little patch of sandy land that rises out of the Beaufort River at low tide and brings hundreds of sun-worshippers, beach volleyball players, people watchers, and party-goers, all together to enjoy the days-of-summer in Beaufort, a few hours at a time.

This year's Beaufort Water Festival is scheduled for July 13th through the 22nd.  For more information, check the 2012 Water Festival Facebook page at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaufort-Water-Festival-2012/240150512731112">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaufort-Water-Festival-2012/240150512731112</a> .
