Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Kites took flight at the Harvey School's lower field Saturday afternoon in Katonah, as children of all ages ran through the grass under clear skies trying to catch some wind.

The Katonah Museum of Art hosted Kite Day with a Chinese Dragon-kite theme relating to its current exhibit, Rising Dragon: Contemporary Chinese Photography. Children ages 3 and up had the chance to build their own kites at the museum's Learning Center before heading down the street to the field at the Harvey School to fly them.

Along with the kites they made, people brought their own of all shapes and sizes to fly. There were demonstrations of fighting kites, instruction on how to fly them for beginners, and giant Dragon Kites.
