NOW GO FLY A KITE!
The Wheaton Park District, Gift of Wings, and the Kite Society of WI & IL are proud to present the 2nd Annual Wheaton "GO FLY A KITE" Kite Festival, as part of the Tour De Kites.
This event is planned for Saturday, April 17, 2010 in Graf Park. Last April, in conjunction with Wheaton’s Sesquicentennial Celebration, Wheaton residents attempted to break the Guinness Book of
World Records for the most kites flown simultaneously (967 kites). We had over 1,100 notarized registrants that day, but unfortunately, the wind was not on our side, and we did not break
the record. A certified 800 kites were set aloft that day. The families that came out for the event had a great time, so we are ready to “give it another try.”
On Saturday morning, April 17, 2010 at Graf Park in Wheaton at 9:00 a.m., the Wheaton Park District and area families will attempt to break last year’s record of 800 kites in the air simultaneously!
WE plan to sign in at 9:00am with the Grand Launch taking place at 10:00am. We are proud to present for the First time, The World renowed Chicago Fire Kite Team flying at 11:00am
and 1:00pm. The Kids Mad Dash and the Candy drop will take place from 11:30 am until 1:00pm. Check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5J5X2dKmr0
