Steve Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Here we go again! It's all coming together great. Last week we had record temps. 108 deg. on the worst day and an average of 97 for the rest of the week. This week we are back to normal, Fog and light winds. The fog cleared up by about 10 or 11 this morning. Thank god the heat is over! Looking foward to it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Foster Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Steve Lynn and I were planning on coming to Brookings this year, but due to issues with her 99 year old father, we won't be there. Will you be at Crescent City for Labor Day weekend? If so, hope to see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Great news Steve, we're really looking forward to this trip. Jim, again, sorry you and Lynn won't make it... But, looking forward (hopefully) to seeing you both in Berkeley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Lingenfelter Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I heard it's been hot, hot hot! Hopefully, we'll have blues skies and wind. See you there! BB Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Jim I sure hope to be in Crescent City on Labor Day weekend ! Hope to see you there. Now for the latest weather update. They are calling for Northerly winds and a warming trend. One station is reporting possible 90s. I hope they are wrong about the 90s, 70 to 79 is great !

Steve Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 What a GREAT time!!!! This has to be one of the best festivals we have ever had! We did an unofficial count of spectators on Saturday, and the best estimate was about 5,000 in attendance. That's huge for Brookings. This is a very small venue. Many thanks to all the great flyers for helping make this such a success. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Lingenfelter Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Wow, I did the names w/phonics early in the morning so I'd get it done.. They probably want to egg me I butchered them so bad... Now, here are the correct spellings as they are in the festival book. A very nice book I might add. Picture this: Kite fliers ~ Flying for the crowd. Sundowners and IQuad Gary and Nancie MacEachern Ron Despojado & Susan Shampo Lam Hoac Brian Champie Al Washington and Aaron (A.J.) Penny Lingenfelter (that's me) Nathaniel Ostovar Steve Bladell Al Stroh Susan Shampo Kite Makers~ Showing their stuff Ron and Sandy Gibbeon, Deb Lenzen John and Mary Gabby Ronda Brewer and Lindsey Johnson David Gomberg (who flew kites) Cindy and Rod Thrall Many volunteers and the WIND CHASERS!!! Go Windchasers! I don't have my book with all the names in it, and they are misspelled something terrible. I'll bet I forgot some awesome fliers and builders. The line up was fantastic. Two days was not long enough. The crowd was interactive and appreciative. I wonder if the flyers knew just how good they are. I don't think kitefliers went any where without being recognized and congratulated. I heard whispers everywhere.. do you think they'd mind if I got their picture. ... Aww, let them eat! Now where in the world can you see a line up like that?! The word down the pipe line is that we are all invited back next year to do it again, only better. Now, only a few more weekends of events before WSIKF! Woo Hoo~ Long Beach!!! BB Penny ~who is open to help at Kite hill this weekend for the Family Mentor Program. It's all about kids and kites, not a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Great pics JD, thanks. What an AMAZING event... Quite possibly the best, out of my eight years attending. Great performers, great organizers, great spectators... Truly amazing. iQuad is proud to have been a part of the 2008 SOKF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
