Click on the Maps link at the top of this page to find the festival. (or click here)

Saturday from 10 - 6.
Sunday from 10 - 5.
Free Parking

1000's of spectators, continuous demos, free sport kite lessons, giant kites, tons of fun!

PLUS: If you are a member of IKE, Scott Fisher (the organizer) will buy you lunch!

The official hotel will be the Comfort Inn, but you want to wait to book until Scott gets a kiter's discount worked out.

[Mike]

ROLL CALL!

I'll be there!
I'll be leaving my house before the crack of dawn on Saturday, returning home on Sunday after the show.

[prairierose]

I'm game!

[TeamTrejo]

Me Too!

[Jynx]

Count me in! (Of course!)
Hopefully I will be helping Brett (the KIte Whisperer) get some people flying revs on the north-end...
Looking forward to seeing all of you, there! HERE!

I think I got this one slid into the schedule??? Kenosha should be a short enough commute as well...

[Mike]

From Scott Fisher:

It is almost time for the Family Kite Festival.
Our sponsor hotel is the Comfort Suite and Inn, right up on the hill above Veterans Park. The actual
address is 916 East State Street, and the phone number is 414/276-8800.
The special room rate is only $89.95. Make sure you mention the FAMILY KITE
FESTIVAL to get that rate.

Keno is still in the plans but Friday my son has surgery on his knee... don't think anybody in this house is going to Milwaukee

[Mike]

Best of luck with the surgery.

For anyone that wants to peek in, here's the webcam of the field.

AND... Thanks to Isaac for the pizza party! Yummmmmmmmm!
(Jeff: I still say we could have finished those last four pieces!)

[Mike]

Thanks for the video Jynx!
I like the close up of the team at 2:50. You can see us tensing up for the big burst...then pow!

[TeamTrejo]

Great vid Jynx!

Thanks a bunch.

BTW do have any footage of the Brick House routine? I thought we looked pretty tight on that one.

Wish I had taken a break from the demo area for that one. I caught the performance but didn't have my camera... DANG!
Well... thought you guys (and gal) looked very tight, and did an incredible job, on this one!

Hope to see you all in Naperville! More pizza anyone?

Here's one of Chicago Fire's performance at the Milwaukee Festival...

Ha! We may actually get more Pizza at Naperville too! Last we year we had a great time at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria courtesy of the festival organizers.

[Babbman]

pizza & kites seems to go together very well...

Hmmmm ... could that be a new Babbman masterpiece Rev??? The series could include thin crust (SUL) and deep dish (full vent) ... pepperoni would be a given, but all the other ingredients would define the series. No two alike!!!

Cheers,
Tom

That's the one I'd like to see too. I was happy with how we did, but I thought we got better as the day went on.

That was neat when we were doing the "walking" at the start of the last routine. I could hear laughing from the crowd despite my earpiece and the wind noise. Lots of spectators there on Sunday.
