Lake Park Kite Festival (in the usual place), 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. This is a good place to fly single lines and help those that need it.
During the festival isn't really a good place to fly stunt kites because of all
the kids and parents running around. After lunch, we can always return for stunt
flying. Hp[e to see you there. |

The last few weeks have been way too hot to get out and fly. The
humidity has been killer, too. And it doesn't look to be much different
the rest of August either. Bummer. Hopefully Fall will be cooler. |
