WSIKF 2004 - A Kite Festival
We are in Long Beach Washington, on the coast just north of the Oregon border.
We have been coming here for the past four years to attend the Washington State International Kite Festival, which is held in August each year. It touted as being the largest kite festival on the Pacific coast and runs for a full week in August. During that week the skys over the beach are filled with interesting and colorful kite, many of them hand made.
We particularly enjoyed this year's festival because there were a bunch of our friends and fellow kite flyers from Southern California and elsewhere attending with us. Our group is informally known as the Goat Hill Gang. Goat Hill is the original name of the hill in Costa Mesa where we fly our kites when at home. It is now known as Fairview Park.
The photos below will give you an idea what the festival looks like.
There are more kite photos and information on my WSIKF web page:

Our plans call for staying here for another week or so and then head north. Our plans are not firm but will probably include stops on the Olympic Peninsula and Seattle, then on to Vancouver Island BC.

I was going to comment in your latest post but comments are off. The pictures are wonderful especially the one with the sky full of kites. That big rolling kite (?) is weird.
I found your blog because someone had used 'next blog' and came to my blog. I will link you in a post because the pictures are sure to raise a smile.
