'Something in the Wind' kite flying event in Carson Valley

Something in the Wind, a free kite flying event, will take place at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park on Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21, 2017.

Join in the fun of the 4th 'Something in the Wind' which celebrates the Washoe Zephyr which also features expert kite flyer Cameron Kauffman along with his family, of CoolKiter.com. From 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. both days, the Kauffmans will demonstrate several models of their large and unusual kites, as well as answer questions. The public is also welcome to bring kites to fly and learn from the visiting experts throughout both days. A limited number of kites will be available for purchase.

Also on both days, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., elementary-school aged children can participate in several simple wind-related craft projects hosted by the Carson Valley Arts Council, and make their own kites (while supplies last) with the help of Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch volunteers. All craft supplies will be provided.

“Colorful wind banners will adorn the park and giant bubbles will blow about, as families are encouraged to bring a picnic and spend all day to play”, says Events Manager Kim Harris.

This is a free outdoor event. Soft drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. The park is located at 1450 Hwy 88, ¼ mile north of the Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital.
