Late breaking news - A large contengent from the Tahara Kite Preservation Society will be attending this year, coming all the way from our sister city - Tahara-cho, Japan. They will be building small "one-sheet" kites similar to the larger Japaneese battle kites which they will demonstrate throughout the weekend. Come out and say hello to our kiting friends from across the Pacific in this rare opportunity to witness the ancient tradition of bamboo and paper battle kites!
