Watch exciting demonstration by our hosts the Sky Pilots Kite Club and other experienced kiters as they show off their skills and kite creations. Throughout the day, they will demonstrate different types of kites in the air and on the ground.
Children of all ages can join in the fun as they learn to make their very own kite and decorate it in the Sled Kite Workshop held throughout the day. Later on, they may fly their kite in the Sled Kite Contests to win a prize! Sled Kite contest divisions include: "Most Colorful", "Funniest", "Most Imaginative", "Highest Flying" and "Best Overall".
Kite contest registration begins at 12:00 p.m. and contest judging begins at 2:30 p.m. The Newspaper Kite Division is a contest in which eligible entries are made almost entirely of newspaper. Kites must be made from newspaper and must be able to fly. We look forward to seeing what shapes & sizes will appear in the sky this year!

Professional kiters are encouraged to bring their homemade kites an enter them in the afternoon contest, for the following divisions.
