1st Annual Kite Festival??

[hellyskiia1]

I'm working on a Kite Festival at a vineyard on Long Island. I'm trying to find local kite organizations, anyone have any suggestions as to how I can find them? (google has failed me miserably!). Thanks very much!

May be a flier in locale windows or at parks in the aria . you could even ask some of the radio stations if thy will anonce it for free. .And or the paper may have free advertisement.Contact the kite and hobbies shop's in your aria also . Good luck and good wind

Try this link for local kite clubs... http://aka.kite.org/?resource_club-map.html

Local kite shop directory - http://aka.kite.org/?resource_merch-map.html

Also, the AKA's regional director for New York is Greg Lamereaux, who can be reached via - region1 [at] aka.kite [dot] org

It is the regional director's duty to assist people in connecting with local kite organizations, groups and resources.

Hope that gets you started.

Hey hellyskiia1,

Sounds good ! I might suggest to contact Lanie from Lanie's Way in Port Jefferson. She is the closest thing to a kite shop around here. There aren't many, if any organized flying clubs on the Island. I fly all over the Island, mostly on the NorthShore. Let me know if I could be any help, but I'm just one person, and don't know too many locals into flying.
