One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

3rd Annual Idaho Kite Festival-

http://www.idahokitefestival.com/Events.html

If you have seen Todd Copeland of Utah Kitefliers fly a quad kite indoors and out, you can experience that again. Indoor kiting is particularly hypnotic and magical - don't miss this demonstration and try your hand at it. When the wind does not cooperate outside, Todd will show that he doesn't need wind to fly. Most scheduled events we caution WIND PERMITTING - indoor kiters don't need the wind! RJ Trentham of Boise will team up with the UKF for a show you will remember!

If you saw national champion fighter kiter Jay Maas and his teammates Roy and Renee create glints of light high in the sky with their fighter kites, and engage in fighter battles - they are back again this Festival. See fighter kite building on the schedule, and make your own sleek unique fighter.

New to this Festival are teddy bear drops. Daring teddy bears and other intrepid animals will parachute from a kite line, seeking adoption on the ground below.

New also will be a kite train or stack contest. If you haven't seen multiple kites attached together and flying as one, don't miss this. Last year we flew 40-kite trains and I know (yeah, wind permitting) we can fly more in 2009!
