[Mentor] Our monthly “Free Fly” where members get together to show off their latest kites or tell their latest stories of where they have been. We got chased off our regular field and just went down the lake to Mentor Headlands to fly at the beach. We also are there to help anyone who has any problems with a kite they have with them.
Plug in “Edgewater Park” Cleveland, Ohio into your map program and follow the directions. We are at the lower park near the lake side of the park. Look for the banners.
Come on down and “Learn to fly”
