Interesting. One of their people attended Shipshewana last year for ideas, etc. I just learned from Kathy Brinnehl that the organizers have also invited Chicago Fire to perform, Wisconsin Kiters to put up show kites and Ann Vondriska to announce.
Re: Fair in the Air 2015
Members of the Wisconsin Kiters Club will be there to fly our show kites. We're looking forward to it!

Re: Fair in the Air 2015
I made a last minute decision to attend and I'm glad that I did. Weather broke to sunny skies in the afternoon with nice wind. A huge area for kite flying with mowed grass that any homeowner would envy. And the food was great too. The grilled cheese sandwich was recommended and was excellent. The biggest decision was which cheese to select for the sandwich. (Ask Big Mike how he solved that dilemma.) Followed later by possibly the best butter pecan ice cream I've tasted in a long time.
