Description:
Down Syndrome Association of San Antonio
Audrey’s Beach Day and Kite Fun Fly
The Coastal Bend Sky Pirates cordially invite all kite fliers to join us in this endeavor.
This is the fourth year of this event; it has grown vastly each year, started with about 19 families and last year had over 50. The main purpose is for the families of Downs kids to get a day just to enjoy the beach, sky, winds, kites, kayaks, food and fun on the water. We are getting an area roped off on the beach just for kite demo fly’s and for our "kids" to experience the joys of kite flying for themselves. We made the “economy” plastic kites available to them and look forward to it again this year. Several "pro" kite team members are coming to do demo flights; just entertain, and interact with these challenged children and their parents / siblings. Dano Wright co-ordinates kite functions and acts as “air traffic controller” contact for more info as needed.
