TULSA, Oklahoma -

Editor's note:  We're taking inventory of everything in our building as we prepare to move into a new facility at the end of the year.  We're cataloging thousands of hours of old videotape and sharing the best here on NewsOn6.com.

What we are discovering about the video vault is there are lots of stories about things we used to do that we don't do anymore.

This week we focus on another: the annual Sand Castle contest.

As Rick Wells shows us in the above video, from the late ‘70s to the mid ‘80s, folks would gather at the river and create all sorts of things out of sand.

Visit our Vault page to see all the other stories we've found.
