Newport!

Are you going to Newport?   Newport RI???  

Well....maybe you should.

This upcoming weekend is the Newport Kite Festival.   

This is one of the best kite festivals around the country.......in one of the prettiest spots!

We will be down there....again (some where around festival #14 for me).

If you are going and there is anything you would like to purchase let me know and it can be tossed into the vehicle for a pickup - nothing like hand delivery!

Good winds

See you on the field!!!

The Newport Kite Festival!!!!

So this will be somewhere in the double digits for us to attend this festival.

It is a great festival at a phenomenal location with lots of good people!!!!

July 11th/12th
in Brenton Point State Park in Newport RI will be the annual kite festival.
This festival has been going on for almost 30 years now! It was originally split off from the Black Ships Festival back in the '80s and turned into its own identity. This festival was taken over by Sue Moskowitz, of High Flyers Flight Co, and Steve Santos, AKA Regional Director for a number of years. When High Flyers closed at the end of 2005 the future of the festival was dubious. But an old friend has taken the festival upon his shoulders, and we wish Scotty the best of the best!!!!.

There are people coming from all over (and we do seriously meant that) for this festival. You never know who you might be flying next to!

WindsweptKites will be there on Saturday only.
Lots of kites in hand (some might even have dog fur on them! good thing that blows right off when you fly them!).
If there is anything specific you would like to see, or grab please feel free to get a hold of us or drop us a line before hand!
(look for the grey tarp thing with Dallmer Duckies around it thats us!)

See you there!!!!

Out to the Park

Sunday Oct. 12th there will be a gathering of kiters at Brenton Point State Park in Newport RI. There just might happen to be a box of kites, banners and such headed down there for a few hours.

For those of you who might want to go but have not been to Brenton Point before here is a map for you:

If there is something you want from WsK bring cash/check/or an internet accessible phone (for paypal at the field!) and you can walk away with it.
Look for the blue ute ( since our banner is back with Dave right now while he makes a 2nd one to match the first) to find us.

Hopefully everyone out there is enjoying a good holiday weekend!

The UNfestival aftermath

Wow...what a good day out there on Saturday! Brenton Point State Park was full of flying fabric!
We usually do not make it down to Brenton Point because we at Colt State Park, but since there was a bunch of people going we thought it would be fun-and it was!

Good friends to hang out with. New friends to make. (Yes-more than a few asked where the pups were-they were hanging out at home in the cool shade).

A bunch of Bob's Yard Sale went to new owners-and so the online list is going to be updated in the next day.

The coolest thing (besides hanging with old friends) was that we got our new feather from Dave. Very neat!!!! What do you think? Readable? Striking? Let us know!!!!

The two most asked questions were:
"Can I have THAT CYPOD?"
&
"Can I have that Ducky?"

We hope to give more positive answers next time (read as-when I get more Cypods you can buy them and the same goes for the duckies!!!).

There was quite a bit of interest in Dave's banners-hopefully they will pan out into orders so that we will be able to show MORE of what Dave can do with banner cloth and a sewing machine!

That is it for now!
