We're doin' it again!!!
NYKE is proud to announce the second annual Kite Builders Challenge.
What is that? NYKE is offering an open challenge to kite builders
everywhere, to build the best kite you can build and bring it to the
Sullivan County Kite Festival, in Loch Sheldrake, NY, on May 7th,
2005 where it will be judged by a panel of top kite builders. The
catch is that the kite must be built from a kit obtained from Kite
Studio. The contents of the kit will not be reveled to contestant
until they receive it in the mail. Be assured that there is ample
supplies to build many designs. The winner of the challenge will
receive a $100 gift certificate to Kite Studio, second place a $50
gift certificate and third $25. View a review of last years Kite
Builders Challenge on the registration page.
In order to participate, visit the Kite Studio Website and order
your NYKE Kite Builders Challenge Kit, (the sooner you order the more
time you have to build) the cost of the kite is $35, plus shipping &
handling (s&h determined by your location) the cost of the kit
serves as your registration fee. To complete your registration in
the contest, complete the registration form found at www.nyke.org
