O.S.E.K Free Fly (OH)
[Cleveland] The Ohio Society for the Elevation of Kites was founded in 1977 by a group of kite enthusiasts. Although the club structure remains informal, we elect officers to organize and oversee activities. Our main purpose is to encourage new kite flyers, share ideas, knowledge, experience, building and flying tips, and to have fun. Members range from eight to eighty-five. Anyone who enjoys the magic of kites is welcome to fly with us whether you are a member or not. Members of OSEK live in Columbus, Wooster, Medina, Youngstown, Mentor, Solon, Cleveland, Akron, Massillon, Canton, and small towns between! O.S.E.K. members have competed and participated in kiting on local, national, and even international levels.
COME FLY WITH US! O.S.E.K. offers kite building workshops for area schools, clubs and groups. We present talks and demonstrations. We paint the sky with kites for park systems, community celebrations, and at the Cleveland Kite Festival in September. We also have our annual club members only “FLEXI FOOL Competition and Birthday picnic”. In April, National Kite Month, we can be found at the Youngstown Kite Festival, Medina Metro Parks Earth Day, Parkman Township Kite Day, and other places, as scheduled. All requests for participation (workshops, demos, displays, kite flying) are presented to the members at next possible meeting and voted on. Due to an increase in requests and the limited number of volunteer members available, we regret we can’t cover them all. At our monthly “free fly”, O.S.E.K. members share ideas, fly our kites, and socialize. We also hold brief, informal field meetings for business needs. Attendance is greater from April to September than during the winter months. Two Special meetings are held to discuss club business, one in March, which includes our annual Auction and election of officers, and the other in November. |

[Cleveland] August 20 and 21 will find a field of kite flying fun and competition at Edgewater Park in Cleveland this year. Sponsored by the Ohio Society for the Elevation of Kites (OSEK), this is the 38th year for this event.
The public can participate in Wind Sprints, a contest held by age groups from 2 to 80+, with prizes for the first three winners in each group. Expert kite flyers will vie for awards in Mystery Ballet and each day ends with a Rokkaku Battle; big single line Japanese kites with contestants using skill to down their competitors. This year we will be including duel and quad line competition for AKA points in the NorthCoast Championship OSEK will also have children’s kites for sale. These are kites the club makes in workshops around northeastern Ohio all year. Invented by William Allison of Dayton, Ohio back in 1950, these “sled kites” as they became known, are better flying kites for children than the old paper kites ever were. All events begin each day at 11 a.m., and continue until 5 p.m. Families are invited to bring a picnic, bring friends, and enjoy a day of outdoor summer fun. There are no admission or parking fees. |
