Dano has decided to move the January event to December event. It looks like it will be a lot of fun with lots of things to do. I'll post what he wrote so far. He's now working on setting it up, and we'll let you know as that happens. But mark your calendars for the first Sat. in December for the event.

Hello to all you fellow windjunkies, breeze beggars, and silkworm farmers,
sewing fanatics, etc etc etc--
During the Audreys day at the beach event a straw poll was taken and it was
unanimously decided that moving the date of the Great Texas Kite Club Fun Fly to
correspond with the Tropical Christmas celebration day here in Rockport would
perhaps be beneficial to all parties. We invite all the Texas kite clubs to
Rockport for a winter kite-a-pa-loza-- is that a word?? it is now!!
One reason for the move--- it gives a little more time between events i.e.-
GTKCFF and SPI kite fest on Feb one===
and two==it gives the City of Rockport a little extra color in the air for
their annual "beginning of the season" celebration. They have asked for kite
fliers the last wo years for this event which includes street fairs, two
parades, musical offerings outdoors, lighting of the big tree in the kite
field, and in general a street party downtown.
Three===it also has more for us windjunkies to do to keep entertained after 5 pm
when the sun goes down--- lighted boat parade, various drinking establishments,
and music and street dancing!!! This occurs on December 5th, a Saturday-- we
can also fly on Sunday ---- the City is inquiring as to renting the "Festival
Grounds" just for us kite flyers====which is the tri-cornered field at the
front of the beach facing Hwy 35 -- I will know in plenty of time to post --
so we should have lots of room for everyone's favorite kite to be displayed.
Would there be any interest in a kite makers contest for this event??-- if so I
can set up some "artsy" judges, some local kitemakers that may be pressed into
service who are more than qualified to judge entries, perhaps a prize from a
supplier of kitemaking products??? Perhaps the Art Center would allow a display
for the two days--- I will set about getting this event as a kitemakers contest
if there is enough interest in it--
