work together to create their own kites. Archie Stewart is a member

sport kite competitor, won the ’99-’00 Eastern League Championship
in individual precision flight and pairs ballet. His workshops will
be open to a limited number of students.
•Kite demonstrations and activities presented by the Richmond Air Force kite club from Richmond,
Virginia. Demonstrations will be in dual line ballet and precision,
multi-line ballet and precision, multiple kite flying by one
person, and stacked kite flying. Expert kite fliers from the club
will be on hand to help novices learn the fundamentals of kite
flying.
•An open-fly area on the beach where participants of all ages may
fly their kites.
The Atlantic Coast Kite Festival is free and open to the public.
There is a nominal charge for participating in the kite building
workshop.
