Two too many kites on a windy day

Father and daughter enjoy Monday’s string winds by flying a kite at Walnut Ridge Park on the playing field adjacent to the ball fields. In the background is the son who also handled a kite for the trio.

Despite a brief period when both kites went missing in the strong wind, one was retrieved after its string became entangled in a nearby tree. The other still sits atop a neighbor’s tree waiting for a another strong wind to dislodge it or a brave soul to venture out on a thin limb for retrieval.

New this year was the location and a different set of vendors showing their wares, including Westerville’s CaJohns Fiery Food whose parking lot was the new show lot. And, there was chili and beer.
