Date: Tue, 12 Jul 1994 15:49:33 -1000 From: sparks@netcom.com (Steve Millspaugh) Message-Id: Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) Subject: WA State SKC Aug 6-7 Washington State Stunt Kite Championships August 6-7 SCI-FI ( Snohomish County Incredible Flying Individuals) and WKA ( Washington Kitefliers Association) are pleased to announce the WSSKC will be held this year on Saturday August 6 and Sunday August 7, 1994. Last year, we were unable to allow free flying due to space constraints. This year, we have moved to a new 50-acre site on Camano Island that will allow a lot more kite flying! This year there are three fields for competition, and two practice fields. This leaves plenty of room for other activities. The flat, grassy field gets regular winds coming in off the bay, with a great view of Mt. Baker. An application has been submitted to the AKA for sanctioning of the event. If granted, this will be the first event of the season in the Northwest to award points leading to eligibility for the Grand Nationals in 1995. If you haven't heard, there have been a number of sport kite competitions dropped this year, so this will be an important event in the Northwest. We encourage those not competing to attend to observe some skilled competitors, and for the fun that is always present wherever kiters congregate. This year's event will be bigger and better than the great time we had last year. We'll have a raffle for kites and kite-related items, and a donations only Bar-B-Q Saturday evening. On Sunday, time and weather permitting, we'll try to put together a buggy race. No entry fees or awards for this, just bring your buggies and we'll have some fun. This posting is an abridged version of an article in the current WKA newsletter. For additional details and directions to the site, or for registration forms, contact the author of the article, Robin Haas of SCI-FI at (206) 359-2206 or (800) 670-3963.
