Hello kite enthusiasts!

I am pleased and excited to announce that Fair Oaks Farms, the premier agritourism destination is hosting its first kite festival on May 9. We are looking for experienced and enthusiastic kite fliers to partake in our event and bring the joy of flying kites to Northwest Indiana and our communities and families. If you are interested please contact Leslie Rusk at lrusk@fofarms.com and she will be able to give you more information about participating!

180GO! will be flying there, but I bet we could use some show kites too!

They probably do it with mirrors, and multiple persons(alities).

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.

Members of the Wisconsin Kiters Club will be there to fly our show kites. We're looking forward to it!

Bumping this thread as a reminder.

Hoping the weather forecast is wrong . . . .

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.
