Please, post more info!!! (Location/directions from D.C area)  Will there be 
stunt competition? How many flyers are you expecting, Will there be any team 
flying, will any of the "Big" names be there?  Is it sponsored by the AKA, 
or any companies?

Please excuse me if any of these questions are inapproriate, or way off
base, I just got into flying last year and have yet to see a kite show.
This is the first one I've heard about fairly close to me.

If you know of any other kite shows/festivals/competitions within a few
hours drive of northern VA, please let me know, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

>From what I've heard, this is pretty much a fun fly with some big names
normally attending. There are some competitions, but mainly of the
lighter and single line variety not aimed at truely "serious" kite
fliers/builders. If they have stunt competition, don't look for
anything like an Eastern League event.

I got a flier in the mail the other day. I'll bring it and upload
when/if I get the chance.

Had hoped to be there this year, but....Conflicts.

ONE: Bald Mountain Kite Club (of which I'm a leading member according
     to our leader) is hosting Masaaki Modegi, President of the Japan
     Kite Association, in conjuction with the Consulate of Japan for a
     fly atop Stone Mountain in Atlanta on Sat. Oct 23. That's where
     I'll be.

TWO: Kites Fly'n High is hosting an Eastern League Regional on Sunday
     Oct. 24. I had hoped to go there but with my Modegi commitments....

Anyway, if anyone goes, let us know how it is. I've heard it is a very
fun event. No pressure and lots of flying.

Gentle breezes,
