That would be for the Lincoln City Indoor Kite Festival, March 23-26. I am sending along a press release about the event and registration information for the competition. I am pasting and attaching it as well.

Paul DeBakker from Holland who I flew with on a South American Tour, Wayne Turner, Jeff Reed, Jerry cannon, Scott Davis, Lam Hoc and the Parks! I can't wait!!!! You know who I wish we could get is Tori.. (?) He was a dual line flyer who impresseed the dualies around here when he was in the area. He always had some exciting move to show the fliers. Maybe we'll see him in the future. In any case, the line up is going to be a fantastic show. You should tell any friends or relatives in the state. It would be worth a drive to see this line up. And kids kitemaking and arch kites. I hope Ms. Cooley drags my butt into the commons area to add an arch! I can't wait!!! BB Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Lingenfelter Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Yeah, but their not as Bezerkly as I remember Berkley being. Hey, I'm thinking that Tsunami had to displace a lot of air. We will be seeing more wind from it eventually. I always think of the world as a terreriam (sp) and each action creates a reaction. Steve is coming down this year and we'll have a day of sight seeing. If you see my old roomy before I do, tell Sharon I said hello. And breakfast is back! Love those cooks!
