Canal Days Slide Show - 2003

Michael Doherty has created a slide show showing events at the 11th Annual Canal Days Kite Festival held on August 3, 2003. You will remember that our festival experienced some periods of rain in 2003. For much of the day there were cloudy skies as a backdrop. However, it is hard to keep kiters from having a good time when they are gathered together with some wind to harness.

Michael's photos show the Rok competition, many kites in the sky, a lot of our members and the visiting kite fliers from the nine kite clubs represented at the festival. Wow - that Rok battle sure was intense.

These slides will take you down memory lane for certain. We thank Michael for taking time to do this great job and for sharing it with everyone.

You can download the file and play it on your own computer to re-live all of the fun of 2003.
Click here to view the Windows Media File Edition (4 megs in size). This version features music and photos of the events. It runs for 3 minutes and 55 seconds. It will take a while to download and buffer on a dial up connection.
Photos of the 12th Annual Canal Days Kite Festival, held just two months ago on August 1, 2004, will be published in the future. We will advise you by email when they are ready for viewing.
