Fall Festival 2004
Lincoln City, Oregon
There are golden moments in life and Lincoln City seems to be the location of so many of those moments for me. My first visit to the D River in 1985 introduced me to the wonderful, fantastic world of kiting. Many summer visits later, Lincoln City now feels very much like coming home. But never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would be invited to participate in one of their kite festivals as an invited guest. It was magical. Just sharing the weekend with my Oregon friends David and Lucas Willis, Jerimy and Zach Colbert, Ken Tuminia and Deb Cooley, Carl and Lisa Bragel, Rick Brown, Rhonda Brewer, Bob Serach, Rod and Cindy Thrall, and Susan and David Gomberg made it a phenomenal experience. But being able to add my kites to their Kaleidoscope of Colors event made it all the more special and unique. Thanks to everyone who made my visit possible. And I owe a very special thank you to Ron and Sandy of the Lincoln City Convention and Visitors Bureau for inviting me to join in all the fun. I'll see you all again in June.
