I don't live in that part of the U.S., but I've got a kite-event calendar >From "KiteLines" magazine. It's the latest one, so if you have it, you already know what I'm about to say. Anyway, according to the kite calendar, there will be two upcoming events in the New England area. On July 23rd- 24th, there will be a stunt kite championship in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. [Newport Stunt Kite Championships] Contact Joe Souza, Windblown Friends, 726 Central Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02861 USA. Phone: 401-725-1574. The other is in Ocean Grove, NJ [Ocean Grove Kite Competition]. Contact: Irv and Dee Yaffie, Sky High Kites, 50 Pitman Avenue, Ocean Grove, NJ 07756 USA. Phone: 908-774-0511 I hope you can make it to both events. Your Friendly Neighborhood Kiteman Miami, Florida >-- >Richard Brooksby >Fighting kite flier.
