Description:

Activities move outdoors in the P.M. for a presentation on the history of fighter kites and kite safety by Glenn Davison of MA. Davison will also demonstrate the technique of fighter kite flying. The day’s activities culminate with a community kite fly. The public is invited to bring and fly F3 fighter kites, a model designed by fighter kite hobbyist Bruce Lambert, crafted during a March 2005 UVL sponsored workshop, sled kites crafted during morning kite making workshops or any kite of choice.
