Does anyone know if the Smithsonian Kitefly on March 27 will be near the Washington Monument this year or will they have us closer to the Capitol like last year?  |

I sent an E mail sent to the coridinators to try to find an answer to your question.....
The Smithisonian Kite Festival Web site is HERE.
Steve, are you head judge this year too? I dont think I will have a kite to enter, so I might be able to be a judge this year. _________________ VR/

I'm one of the worker dudes for this competition! Jon Burkhart has been the head judge in the past. I also sent him a message regarding the question about this year's location. _________________ Steve Ferrel

Good News! The Smithsonian Kite Festival returns to the monument this year!
Go to the Festival's webpage for more information.
One interesting change this year, there will be a separate little competiton for volunteers! Thats right... in the past, if you volunteered it was difficult if not impossible to enter a kite in the kitebuilding competition. Well, it looks like the organizers were paying attention! I don't know exactly who will judge this competition though... But I am sure it will be a good show.
So... I will be there, will you?

I am hoping to be a Flight Judge there again as I have been every year since Olan Turner recruited me in 1991.
I called Mike Van Meers on Weds asking about the location and he said there would be an Associates' Meeting that afternoon after he went out and measured what space was left around the 8 foot fence around the monument.
Maggie and I will be there! Who else? _________________ good heavens;
