Kite lovers descend on Wheatley

WHEATLEY — Local kite enthusiast George Paisiovich, members of the Southpoint International Kite Festival, and a bevy of local volunteers added to the Wheatley Strong community spirit with “Catching Up, Looking Up” kite and fun day at the Wheatley Arena Complex on Saturday, November 6.

An ideal day of clear blue skies and moderate winds allowed young and old kite lovers to take part in the festivities.

George and volunteers were eager to put this event on in Wheatley, allowing residents to catch up with neighbours and friends and visit in a relaxing fun-filled family environment.

The Active Citizens of Wheatley Facebook page has been lined with great pictures and glowing testimonials to name a few: “Fantastic!; Wonderful event!; A perfect day, so many smiling faces!; My son and I had a great day flying kites together, we were here twice!”; and “Tons of thanks to George.”

Despite his hectic schedule, George has been very gracious to personally respond to the appreciative visitors comments.

The day could not have gone any better.
