I see that there is a Asian American Kite Festival at the Villages Polo Field tomorrow February 17, 2008 from 11am to 5pm.

Not sure if this is free or not? :dontknow: They also list a parade starting at 1pm of the Villages High School Marching Band, Girl and Boy Scouts, Asian-American Club Members with their Countries' flags.

Tal

thanks for the info. sounds like fun

I could see three of the larger and higher Asian Kites at the Polo Fields from the Doggie Doo Run Run at 10:35 am and later or so. Quite a sight if you drive by the Polo Fields today.

I saw some large kites from the Doggie Doo Run Run and then from near the entrance to the polo field. Are these what you mean??
