5th Annual Great Texas Kite Club Fun Fly
We have been doing this event five years now-- we began by inviting all the Texas kite clubs to Rockport and having a Fun Fly and a couple of meals and fellowship. This is the third year of holding the event in December in concurrence with the opening of the holiday season with the City of Rockport’s “Tropical Christmas” affair, parades, fireworks and traditional lighting of the community Christmas tree.
