The Cornwall Kite Club invites anyone and everyone to come to the Salons in the Civic Complex on February 15, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. to make a kite. All materials will be supplied. From 5:00 until 6:00, we will hold a group kite fly during the opening ceremonies of Winterfest. People are welcome to bring store-bought kites too. Kite Club organizer Elaine MacDonald says, “We’ll fly in the area between the Clock Tower and Bandshell in Lamoureux Park. Weather permitting, of course.”

The kite club began in 2010 and is committed to promoting kite-making and kite-flying as a DIY (do-it-yourself) activity. Whenever possible, we combine workshops with flights. We have had some very successful festivals under the auspices of The Parade of Nations every September. February 15 will be our first group winter flight, to celebrate Winterfest. Newbies are welcome.
