Lots of Fairgoers are taking pictures of this year's sand sculpture, which is a tribute to 9/11. On this firefighter and rescue recognition day at the Fair, the crowds seem especially heavy around the sculpture-in-the round, at the Center of Progress Building. The work includes several scenes from New York City, including a skyline and the illuminated twin beams of light where the towers once stood, a firefighter sitting on a curb, head in hands, and tributes to the three terrorist targets: Manhattan, Shanksville, PA and the Pentagon
