DATE: April 14, 2012
PLACE; Robby Ferrufino Park-74th Ave. & Carr St. in Arvada,CO
TIME: 10-4
Kite competitions for ages 10 & under and 11 & over: smallest kite, largest kite, highest kite and most visually appealing kite, with trophies given to the top four in each age group. This is more a family fun event, so there will be two jumping castles (free), face painter, balloon twister, train for little ones to ride on, art activites, the Jeffco Brass Band will play from noon to 1:00 (free) caricaturist, plus food vendors, and many community booths. This year is the 10th anniversary of the festival, so we are planning on some new exciting activities. Kite building classes are: Mar. 24-@ Majestic View Nature Center --10-11, 11:30-12:30 & 1-2,---Mar. 30 @ YMCA 3:30-4:30, --Mar. 31 @Majestic View Nature Center--10-11, 11:30-12:30 & 1-2---April 4, @ YMCA , 4-5
Our first kite day meeting is next Monday, Jan. 10th at the nature center@ 6:30 p.m. Since this is the 10th anniversary, we hope for some great ideas. Come if you can. You can post the festival on the AKA calendar if you want to, I usually have done it, but this year, you can! As far as getting AKA sanctioning this year, we aren't sure, as the budget is tighter, and we don't really get any kiters from anywhere else. However, this year, we are having a special time for adult kiters to fly their kites (no trophies, just for fun) before the competitions begin. Let me know if you want to come to our meeting or help Dudley out with the kite building classes.
