Granite Shoals will host its third annual Let’s Go Fly a Kite event on April 18 at the Granite Shoals Bob Sylvester Airport, where the runway will be closed to air traffic to give families space to fly kites.
The event begins at 10 a.m. at the airport, 710 Forest Hills Drive, and is held in partnership with the Airport Advisory Committee. Residents and visitors are encouraged to bring their own kites or purchase one at the event, where a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles will be available.
“Hosting our third annual ‘Let’s Go Fly a Kite’ event at our own airport provides families with a unique place to gather, enjoy the open skies, and spend quality time together. For this special event, the runway will be closed to air traffic, giving participants plenty of space to find the perfect spot to fly their kite,” Chair of the Airport Advisory Committee Robin Ruff told DailyTrib. “For many, kite flying is more than just a fun activity; it can spark a lifelong interest in aviation and the outdoors.”
