Saturday’s Castles in the Sand fund-raiser for Interfaith Housing Association produced a number of winners, including one by Westport’s Gault, Inc. depicting a polar bear.
“Gault’s polar bear is especially meaningful because of what it represents: a living symbol of the dangers of global warming,” said a company representative in an e-mail to WestportNow. Gault was not mentioned in Saturday’s story. (See WestportNow May 10, 2008)
“As the event sponsor, and the company that donated all of the sand used to create these wonderful masterpieces, Gault is hoping that you will be able to include a follow-up story about their polar bear, which was a real crowd favorite,” the message said.
The spokeswoman said Gault is teaming up with the not-for-profit organization Polar Bears International (PBI) to launch a major energy conservation and education program this summer.
