May 13th and 14th (Saturday and Sunday) FREE ADMISSION!!!! AIR, WIND, and WHEELS FAIR at Balloon Fiesta Park! This is a new festival that is underbudgeted and cannot afford much advertising; however, note that they are expecting over 5,000 participants and that is not terribly crowded considering how big the Balloon Fiesta Park is. What's it all about? KITES! (big kites, stunt kites, kite boarders, kite-making, kite contests, buggy riders), HOT AIR BALLOONS!, and SPECIALTY BICYCLES! Fun for kids of all ages! Contact is Bev Moore at 505-620-5252 There are no formal competitions at this time, but there will be a candy drop!
