Come join us for an afternoon of fun and help us fill the skies with beauty and excitement! This event will feature an exhibition flying large kites by New Era Air & Space Adventures.

    The first 50 guests will receive their own FREE kite. There will also be a booth where you can buy a kite kit and, with their help, make your own kite and learn how to fly it. There will also be food, drinks and other fun things to do! It’s gonna be
    BIG!

    Event will be in the field behind the WV Housing Development Fund building. Parking adjacent to the field, behind Pizza Hut.
