Mighty Kite Flight Details Announced
The 9th Annual “Mighty Kite Flight” is scheduled for Saturday, April 22, 10:00 A.M.-4:00P.M., according to organizer Barbara Hughes. “The yearly spring event is a favorite of the young and the young at heart,” Hughes said recently. “More and more kite enthusiasts of all ages come out each year. Last year, our youngest was in diapers and our oldest flyer was 87,” Hughes added. “Many are first time flyers as well”.
The “Mighty Kite Flight” is sponsored by Narnia Studios in Hendersonville in conjunction with the national celebration, National Kite Month. Hundreds of kite festivals are held throughout the country in the month of April according to official website, www.nationalkitemonth.org . The “Mighty Kite Flight” is the only sanctioned kite festival in Western North Carolina that participates.
At the “Mighty Kite Flight”, there will be demonstrations by experienced kite flyers as well as help for the novice. “Many of the more seasoned flyers will bring an array of unusual and complex kites to exhibit”, said Hughes.
The Mighty Kite Flight is held at Hillandale Elementary School located at 900 W. Blue Ridge Road in East Flat Rock. Spectators and participants alike are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch. “Just a warning-plan to spend the entire day because kite flying is very addictive,” joked Hughes.
