Kite Flying at Clifty Falls SP, April 16
Join Clifty Falls State Park and the Hoosier Kitefliers Society for a fun filled day of kite flying on April 16.
Start the day at the nature center, where from 10-11:30 a.m., the Hoosier Kitefliers Society will conduct a kite-making workshop, providing materials and assistance to make an easy-to-fly "sled kite."
The annual "Kite Fun Fly," dedicated to the conservation of birds of prey, takes place from 1-2:30 p.m. just inside the park's S.R. 62 entrance near Clifty Falls.
Live hawks and owls will be on hand from Hardy Lake's Dwight Chamberlain Raptor Center.
All audiences are welcome. Children age 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Kites and kite lines flown during the event must be made of materials that do not conduct electricity.
Park admission is $5 per vehicle for Indiana residents; $7 per vehicle for out-of-state visitors. There is no charge for the workshop. Donations will be accepted to defray kite material costs.
For more information, call (812) 273-0609.
