Pam and Dale Bowden's "Kitty Cat" fascinated the little
ones They let "the cat out of the bag" because of a special request from someone in the crowd who remembered
it from a prior festival. Serious kite fliers will do most anything to please their audience!
This grouping of 25' tall Crown Bols gave a beautiful background
for the rest of the kites and for the show put on by the quad team, 180 GO!
Don and Betty Murphy's Caterpillar ground bouncer always
attracts the children, many of whom love to crawl underneath to let it bounce and roll on them!

"Buddy", Larry's 40' teddy bear made his premier flight
over the ice and snow this year. As Al Sparling says, "Buddy is a real kiddie magnet!" Larry's "lackeys",
Corey Day from Des Moines, Paul Charest from St. Paul, MN and Butch Venzke from Manly, IA were in charge of Larry's
kites this year and did a great job of keeping them in the air!

The crowd for Color the Wind was estimated at between
7,000 and 8,000 people! The Lakeview Room was packed all day with people enjoying the displays and buying their own
kites so that they could join the fun out on the ice. Larry and I want to thank everyone who helped make this a
wonderful festival through the contributuion of their time, talent and financial support!
