Mill Creek MetroParks hosted its annual Kite Fest on April 30 at the Wick Recreation Area.
The sky was filled with several different colors, shapes and designs of various kites that people brought and came to look at for the festival.
Mill Creek MetroParks partnered with Ohio Society for the Elevation of Kites to help create the event. Members from the society brought their expertise in kite flying to the park. The event was open to the public for people to watch the kites and fly their own. The giant field was open for guests to fly their kites without having to worry about running into one another or having multiple kites get tangled. Children ran trying to fly their kites as the parents watched and tried to help.
One of the favorite objects among the children was a giant bubble machine. People lifted up wands that were dipped into the bubble solution and huge bubbles blew in the wind. Many of the children chased the bubbles and tried to pop them.
The children could also participate in other crafts that Mill Creek MetroParks provided. There were supplies to create your own kite and create other sky crafts. The event lasted for five hours and several people attended to watch from afar and to take part in flying their own kite.
