The Great American Kites company will be one of the featured specialty events at this year's air show. They will perform a humungous kite show several days during the event.

This company has already produced amazing shows at fairs, festivals, and balloon festivals across the country. In joining us, they also joined the International Council of Airshows, hoping to be featured at more air shows in the future.
