I learned how to build a kite train at the last WA State International Kite Festival. The train consists of small Malay kites hooked together to trail across the sky. Once you get a good number (100 is my goal) you can also make a kite arch, tacking down both ends. It’s breathtaking to see the arches on the beach, and I want Idahoans to see that sight in Pocatello this fall. My train was up to 40 kites, so last Sunday we flew it at a Fathers Day picnic in Blackfoot. It went up easily, and excited and amazed everyone. Just seeing all those kites dancing and soaring lifted spirits and brought smiles to our faces. So my plan is to keep adding to the train with the help of fellow kiters and The Sky's The Limit volunteers till I reach 100 kites by October 2, when the second annual Idaho Kite Festival begins – and to fly however many I have every chance I get. I’ll be in Ontario and Nampa this weekend for family and friends, and you might see the train over our gatherings! |
