Unfortunately, Buddy had a little accident while flying
at Wings on Strings. He will be in the repair shop for a while. If my repair job shows too much, I may make a "Buddy"
sized band-aid to put over his owie.

The "Running of the Bols" is always a hit
with the kids and they're always eager to get into the race!
Here's Larry with Dave Gomberg and Jeff Hale.
Jeff is from Neenah, WI and he brought his rainbow banner display that now numbers 40! It covered the entire end of
the flyng field. Impressive! Dave and his wife, Susan, have traveled the world flying kites. Their company has provided
kite shows for Walt Disney, the London Millennium Celebration, for the Super Bowl and for major motion pictures. They
perform for 20-30 events each year and have participated in festivals in 35 states and 25 countries. Dave owns the world's
largest kite, a 10,000- square foot American Flag. Dave served an unprecedented ten terms as President of the American
Kiteflier's Association (AKA) and, in 2005, was inducted into the Kitefliers Hall of Fame. We hope to see more of Dave at Midwestern
events in the future!
When
Carveth Kramer of Taos, New Mexico retired from the National Forestry Service, he wanted to find his creative side.
Well, he has certainly succeeded in that! He new partners with his wife, Luella, to mix the sun, wind and rich fabric
colors in original designs for banners. Carveth's "Wind Thru the Hair" series of banners, bring lots
of smiles to people's faces--I found myself laughing out loud Larry and I fell in love with these banners and ended up bringing home 4 of
the "Wind Thru the Hair" series plus a 4' x 16' banner appliqued with a Zia Pueblo Indian design in a rich
red on black. To see more of these delightful banners on Carveth's website click here

Mark Brandt did a great job of keeping the crown bols going
and they got a lot of attention from the crowd--including Dave's Red Devil!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Mike Gee, one of the organizers of the kite festival
in Jamestown, ND, was very busy both days doing the announcing, organizing activities and otherwise making sure everyone was
happy. Chris Dodson is the other half of the dynamic duo that so successfully put on this event.
