Kite Day takes flight tomorrow morning

Activities begin at 10 a.m. at Hickory Creek Elementary and Bonnie Bear will be on hand.

The annual event usually draws around 100 children to enjoy some clean fun and compete for prizes in categories such as best homemade kite, most unusual kite, and prettiest store-bought kite.

‘This is what family fun is all about,’ said Kite Day organizer Margaret Hobbs. ‘It’s parents and children enjoying time together outside and working to get their kites in the air.’

A few families have attended all 10 of the Standard’s Kite Day celebrations. This year’s event incorporates the Warren County Bicentennial theme as forest green T-shirts feature the Birthing Tree. The shirts are made possible by the Standard and Dr Pepper.
