Ben Brown, left, and Nick DeHart pick up tie-dyed shirts off of the beach near the North Douglas Boat Launch on Sunday. About 40 shirts were dyed, dried, ironed, then soaked in salt water before they will be dried and ironed again. The saltwater rinse, along with the ironing, helps set the color dyes, according to Brown, who has been making tie-dyes since the 1980s. The shirts are for a Perseverance Theatre fundraisier.
