The original PR from the Ritz-Carlton said today (August 31) was the day when they would, "roll out the ultimate welcome mat for DNC guests, as it unveils and illuminates a one-of-a-kind 12-ton “Welcome to Charlotte” sand sculpture in its front drive area.

The massive sculpture has been under construction for several weeks, and it will be brilliantly uplit for visitors to the city, throughout the dates of the Democratic National Convention.

Located at 201 East Trade Street next door to Time Warner Arena, The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte is the only LEED® Gold-certified hotel for The Ritz-Carlton brand, and its highly visible front drive is host not only to the new sand sculpture, but also to one of the few front-drive electric vehicle charging stations in the luxury hotel sector."

Oh well. Heavy rain forecast for next week might have been a factor.

Word was it was to be a sculpture of the ZERO.
But after Clint’s speech with the chair, the DNC was not going to allow a replica of Zero, IN SAND, to be shown!
That would be saying Clint was correct and Zero is a empty suit!

the sculpture was to include a carving of the DNC logo, stars and strips and a message saying “Welcome to Charlotte.”

Great editing!
