Wisconsin Kiters teach kids to make their own kites
Saturday afternoon, members of the Wisconsin Kiters Club spent time with some local
children at the Logan County Airport, teaching them how to make kites.
The kids used butcher paper, lightweight wood and of course lots of string. They used
brilliantly colored markers to decorate their kites, then went out into the wind and put them to
the ultimate test.
While it was clear that many of them enjoyed the process of making their kites, for some, the
expressions on their faces when the kites actually flew was priceless.
