In what turned out to be a warm, very windy, sunny day the fourth annual Hilton-Parma Recreation “Kites In The Park Event” had a great turnout.
About 800 people, many of them the younger kind, showed up at the Parma Town Park on Saturday, May 12 to fly all kinds of kites.
Adding to the draw were the donations of 1,000 hot dogs, condiments and rolls and 750 bags of chips by the Hilton TOPS Friendly Market store, and financial support from the Hilton-Parma-Hamlin Chamber of Commerce and Carmestro’s Restaurant for the 750 kites distributed to the children.
Volunteer efforts were coordinated by Hilton’s Mayor Joe Lee; they came from the members of the Lion’s Club, the Apple Fest Committee and the St. Leo Knights of Columbus, Council #9461.
Hilton resident Brian Harris holds an airplane kite. Brian has been flying kites for fifteen years.
