Go fly a kite!!

My highlight was a flyer portraying Charlie Chaplin's...

...iconic character  "The Little Tramp"

Plenty or color

Kites come in all shapes and sizes

Sweet Thing (tan) and Adorable (dark wool) represented the 'lamb' contingent
BROOKINGS, OR - -The Wonders of the Wind, the 26th annual Southern Oregon Kite Festival 'flew' into Brookings Harbor for the weekend.  "Windy" Oregon didn't disappoint.  There were enough hard core kite pilots to fill six hours of continuous entertainment.
     My favorite was a flyer dressed as the silent film star Charlie Chaplin's iconic character The Little Tramp.  The individual, Amy Doran, had all of Chaplin's moves down pat...including the cane...when a kite wasn't in the air. 
     There were a number of 'teams' who demonstrated synchronized flying.  All the demos were set to the individual's/team's chosen music.  And most of the spectators seemed to be as colorful as the kites.
