Description:
The Mighty Kite Flight is sponsored by Narnia Studios in Hendersonville in conjunction with the national celebration of National Kite Month. Hundreds of kite festivals are held throughout the country in the month of April, according to the Web site, www.nationalkitemonth.org.
“The yearly spring event is a favorite of the young and the young at heart,” organizer Barbara Hughes said. “More and more kite enthusiasts of all ages come out each year. Last year, our youngest was in diapers and our oldest flyer was 87. Many are first time flyers as well.”
During the event, there will be demonstrations by experienced kite flyers as well as help for the novice. Many of the more seasoned flyers bring unusual and complex kites. Spectators and participants are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch.
