Update, February,20th:  We had good ice, warm weather and sunny skies but, unfortunately, very little wind!  And everyone knows.....you can't fly kites without wind. All of our kite flyers worked hard to put on a good show for the crowds.They constantly tested the wind and attempted to launch more kites. They drilled holes in the ice to put up dozens of colorful banners and ground displays. Fire and Ice and 180GO pulled out their ultralites and kept their kites dancing in the air with their choreographed routines almost all day much to the delight of the crowds that attended. Next year, we'll be back for the 12th annual Color the Wind....we'll keep hoping that the wind shows up, too!
