Description:
Century Village is a collection of original buildings from Burton’s past which can be toured so bring kids for a dose of hands-on American History. The entrance fee lets you walk through them at no charge, but we aren’t paying any fees since we are part of the entertainment.
We are allowed to park behind the orchard, right at our flying area, which is a bluff overlooking eastern Geauga County. You are welcome to wear a poke bonnet or settler type gear, and DO bring any OLD kites you might have, such as square, diamond, or box kites appropriate to the era. NEW kites are welcome, too, as are national colors! And, since we will be there on Sunday of One Sky One World, join the many thousands of people worldwide who will also be flying kites on this day. The concept – one envelope of air surrounds our globe and one wind carries our kites aloft, so we can join “hands” with people everywhere. The original idea of observing this day is both environmental and peace-minded. Just a year ago the liberated Afghan people were once again allowed to fly kites. Let’s join them and hope for a world where everybody is welcome to fly a kite and breathe free, clean air.
