DC Kite Fest Saturday 3/31

Post by mingram »

The CHGPA will be attending the Cherry Blossom Kite Festival on the National Mall this weekend Saturday March 31, 2012. We'll have a tent set up to promote free flight and will have at least one hang glider set up for demonstration. This is the only day of the year that kiting paragliders is allowed on the National Mall, so bring it! If you'd like volunteer to help with the hang glider demonstration and to talk to the public let me know. The event is pretty casual so come join the fun if you can.

:-) bring a rope so I can tow you into the air!

Here's the location of our Tent. Cragin and I will be there around 8-9am so that we can get a parking spot on Constitution.
