Kite Event Calendar

[Rockport,] We are opening up a new temporary exhibit at the museum in April on the Joides Resolution Research Vessel, a section of which will be about life on ship. One of the ways they pass time on the ship is kite flying, so we are holding a kite contest for kids to design and fly their own kites and where the winner of the competition will have their kite put on display and then sent to the researchers on the ship.
