Once again, we are so proud to announce that the Legendary WINDJAMMERS Kite Team will be performing at the Don Jacobs Toyota Family Kite Festival on May 29th and 30th. The Windjammers International Kite Team began with the simple love of kite flying. Welcome!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmdbCZ1kUcw
We are thrilled to announce that Yves Laforest and his team of Canadians will be bringing some really new, really large, and really exciting kites to the Family Kite Festival, sponsored by our friends at Dole Juices. We cannot tell you what the new kites are, as we are sworn to secrecy, but they are really big, really colorful, and, did we say, really expensive kites.
Suffice to say, we can all expect the GREATEST LARGE KITE SHOW EVER IN THE MIDWEST!
