Here we are in Georgetown, KY on this beautiful sunny Sunday April 26th! The Georgetown Rotary Club puts on a Kite Fest every year. This year marks the "15th Annual Georgetown International & Cultural Kite Festival". When I sent off my email asking if they had a Kettle Corn vendor, I was certain that I would hear they were all set. Nope!! I'm in! Since we are new to the kettle corn business I get really excited when I get into annual events! Especially great events like a Kite Fest. Who doesn't enjoy seeing hundreds of kites flying high, kids running around having a blast and seeing families spending quality time with their kids? That being said, my 2 year old daughter was at home with my wife and I am here working. (insert sad face here) Aside from that, I have been looking forward to this event for a while.
So... Saturday it is pouring down rain and the event is rained out. (Insert another sad face here)
Sunday! A beautiful day! Kite fest starts at Noon and goes till 5pm.
Along with kites they had other entertainment. They had some live bands, dancers, etc.
It is a very nice event. The wind was perfect for kite flying.
I often think about my daughter when I am out popping corn and missing her. This was definitely one of those moments. I saw an Ariel kite. My daughter loves princesses and loves Ariel. I really wish she was here with me.
There were hundreds of kites that went up. Not all of them came down. A few got caught in some power lines. 😩 I feel bad for the kids that lost their kites. It really was a great day.
Overall we did well and had a nice time. I hope to be a part of this event next year. Maybe in 2016 the weather will cooperate with us and give us two days of kite flying & kettle corn selling.
