[Princeton] Kite Day is a perfect time to explore the farm during our FREE spring festival - Saturday, May 5 & Sunday, May 6 - 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Spring on the farm is one of the most beautiful and exciting seasons. All is ready for the bountiful growing season. Bring your own kite or choose a ready-made kite from the wide selection in the store. Or better yet, make a “guaranteed to fly” kite. Whichever you choose, test fly your kite in our wide-open 10-acre pasture with all the farm animals looking on.
The farm will ring with country music and entertainment all weekend. The whole family can tour the orchards and fields while riding in a tractor-drawn farm wagon. The sheep will be shorn on Sunday and the children can take home a piece of real fleece. There will be special activities and games for children in the barnyard. For all those hungry kite fliers, we’ll have lots of good country food. The whole family will enjoy Terhune Orchards’ famous apples, cider, donuts, pies, country chili, hot dogs, our own fresh and grilled asparagus, salads, soup and all kinds of cookies and goodies.

Done to colorful narration and awesome music, Kite Fest 2007 will provide a rare treat for festival attendees. This year, Kite Fest falls on Children’s Day, a national holiday in Japan dedicated to celebrating the health and happiness of all children. Attendees will get to see three gilded carp windsocks up to twenty-four feet in length. The carp is the symbol of strength in Japan. The free expert kite exhibition also includes stunt kite demonstrations and buggy demos by David Sabilino, a three time National Buggy Freestyle Champion. The youngest flyer, 16 year-old Champion, Andy Herzog, will demonstrate his skills as well. A variety of kites will be for sale so that festival-goers, too, may join the celestial flight. A special "candy drop" by an overhead kite is scheduled. Kite Fest 2007 will be held at Barney Schwartz Park, 2970 Union Road, Paso Robles on Saturday, May 5 from 2 – 5 p.m. Paso Roblan John Rollins has coordinated the line-up and will be one of the featured flyers.
