Description:
I can't believe it, 7 years running now! The longest running indoor kite festival in the world! Yes, folks, the 7th annual Windless Kites Festival is coming up. The event is held in the Long Beach Elementary School, 400 Washington Ave N., Long Beach, WA. There will be kites on display, free-flying time, an indoor competition, indoor stunt kite demonstration, and even an indoor Hot Trick Shoot-out. Jan. 18th the festival begins at 4pm with an evening of informal free-flying. Time to get reacquainted with your indoor kites or try flying indoors for the first time. Just speak up and you'll get a free lesson! Saturday, Jan 19th will begin in the morning with more free-flying time. At 10am the demonstrations will start. Some more free-flying through the lunch hour and at 2pm there will be the indoor competition. At 6pm the banquet begins. It will be an Italian potluck. At the banquet, awards will be presented and there will be a auction / raffle, with the proceeds going to the World Kite Museum in Long Beach. So bring an Italian dish or salad, and an item for the raffle. Sunday, Jan. 20th, will bring even more free-flying time, demonstrations, and at 11am an indoor "Hot Trick Shoot-out". Last year the event was a huge success and this year promises to be bigger. To compete in either or both of the competitions you must be a current AKA member and there will be a $10 registration fee.
