John will be joined by the 2014AKA National Indoor Champion, James Fletcher (Baltimore, MD) as well as many talented fliers ~ Spence Watson (SeaTac, WA), Paul de Bakker (Oak Harbor, WA), Amy & Connor Doran (Seattle, WA), Paul Lamasters (Germantown, MD), Jim Cosca (Fort Washington, MD), Eli Russell (Medford, OR) and Brett Marchel (New Boston, MI). These amazing indoor fliers will show off their kiteflying talent as they hit the floor with their choreographed routines to a mix of jazz, swing, classic rock and pop music. If you have never been to an Indoor Kite Performance – you don’t know what you are missing. It is truly the best part of kite fest. Tickets for the Indoor Kite Exhibition are $12 per person and can be purchased or reserved in advance at B&S Kites (956) 761-1248. Tickets are not available at the door. The festival continues on Friday and Saturday (Feb. 4th and 5th) when the festival moves outdoors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the flats just north of the Convention Centre. Kitefliers bring their magnificent ‘show kites’ that will be on display throughout the day. Just imagine it a 150 ft. octopus, a 90 ft. gecko, a 32 ft. clownfish or a 24 ft. spinning bol – or maybe a sky filled with colorful trilobites. Have you ever seen a trilobite; do you even know what trilobites are? No kite fest is complete without the individual and team performances. Three teams are scheduled to perform at this year’s event – John Barresi with his six-person Team KiteLife as well as Team Misfits from Baltimore, Maryland and Team End of the Line fromAustin. Completing the flying roster will be a few ‘Winter Texans’ who have found they not only have a passion for kite flying but a talent for performing as well. Admission for the outdoor event is free.
