Subject: Kite events in the NW USA



There are kite gatherings along the Oregon/Washington coast just
about every weekend. If you are looking for larger festivals, check
out Long Beach, Ocean Shores, and the Lincoln City Fall Kite Festival.
(Lincoln City is awarding a trip to Weifang China or $1000 cash
as their grand prize this year.)

For sport kite events, there are the Northwest Regionals in Long Beach,
the Washington State Championships, the Festival of Colors, and the North
Coast Challenge -- all part of the new Western League.

Basically, I guess it depends when you are planning your vacation. If you
come to Oregon, call the President of the Associated Oregon Kiters
(Dave Colbert) at 503-994-4111 to check on local events. 

Enjoy your time out here.
