I spoke to Meg & Bill Albers in Washington at the Smithsonian Festival this past weekend, and they simply could not arrange the event in time. They are planning to stage it in May of 1995. However, some of us in the Toronto Kitefliers are getting together with the Great Lakes Kitefliers Society and having a casual fly on these dates. The site will still be Reservoir State Park, we hope to get a park permit and have it all to ourselves. We could have as many as a ten buggies, a rok battle, and bear drops, as well as the usual kite mania. Anyone interested in attending can contact me by e-mail or at (613)967-0668. We will have a group rate for an area hotel, and there will be a very small registration fee to cover the cost of the park permit & insurance.

Regarding the festival in Verdun: This is an International Festival with demonstrations of the most elaborate kites from around the World. This years festival had a very large budget and has arranged for the very best kite celebrities from about 20 different countries. If you have never seen the magnificence of these international kites, I recommend that you make every attemt to be there. My team, The Flight Squadron, will represent the U.S. for the Dual Line Team catagory.
