We were there yesterday.......no BBQ, no wind, no kites, no Brian.   

Just kidding..............

We will, however, be there on April 18th.   

[lummas]

Team Too Much Fun will be there as always too!!

[NormP]

My wife and I will be going. I like to watch the Paso Robles Fire Department exercise their Aerial Ladder Truck.  The kite festival is a lot of fun too.

Brian, you'd better get back in here...

Reno Kite Kids will be there.  We like BEAST too and to pray with Rev. Vee for wind.

For some reason you don't strike me as the praying kind, but Paso might be a good time and place to start. 

[RenoKiteKids]

Norm, me and Vee are praying for wind and for Brian Champie to keep off the light poles in Paso Robles. JJ

[Jim Foster]

Due to the lack of wind, Mark Lummas chose to run with Jim Strealy's kite for the candy drop.

During the third drop, the wind came up and took the kite into a light standard, impaling it on the lightning rod at the top.

Thanks to the ever diligent Paso Robles Fire Department, the kite was retrieved.  It sustained a repairable tear and is now at the Champie Kite Hospital where it should recover in time for Morro Bay.

The incident was a real "Crowd Pleaser".
