Bend Kite Festival

[Mousie]

A very big THANK YOU to all the fliers that came to the Bend Kite Festival. YOU ROCKED! The city of Bend has been enlightened and delighted as well as educated. Not to mention it was just wonderful to have you all here. Fun videos to come as iQuad visited the Octopus's Garden , a special ty to Phil and Barbara Burks for bringing their one of a kind Octopus to visit ! Mirium Shafler and Dave Shattuck also graced the field with their beautiful single liners as well. Lam Hoac brought alot of cheers from adults and kids alike who are now saying things like. **I want to be like Lam**. lol.

Theresa from The Kite Shoppe was busy all day educating and providing excellent kites to our new found kiters, while

Bob Wendt kept the show rolling all day long. Despite a slow start with winds, the day soon found plenty of kites in the sky and many delighted faces in the crowd.

Also, a big hug and ty to Shannon , Ula , Hiedi and her two assistants for help in the kid's kite making tent. I believe the estimate stands at 250 children making kites and then flying them in a special children's fly. I have to say, when all those kids hit the field, I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes. They would not have been able to do that without you.

sincerely,

Amy * mousie*

OH, sorry about my lousy video. I had trouble seeing my viewer, and apparently shielding it with my paw isn't such a hot idea lol..
