Description:
This is the second year of this event; it’s main purpose is for the families of Downs kids to get a day just to enjoy the beach, sky, winds, kites, kayaks, food and fun etc. on the water. We are getting an area roped off on the beach just for kite demo flys and for our "kids" to experience the joys of kite flying for themselves. We made the 20/20/20 paper kites available to them and look forward to it again this year. Several "pro" kite team members are coming to do demo flights; just entertain, and interact with these challenged children and their parents / siblings.
