GrooveHobbit

James, I am also from Kansas City and just wanted to point out that this coming Saturday is perhaps the best day of the year around here to really get a great introduction to kiting! The Flights of Fancy Kite Festival is where I was first really introduced to the hobby. There will be plenty of oportunities to try out different kites and a bunch of vendors there selling them. I'm unable to attend this year, but it will surely be a good time. Hope this helps!
