My, how I used to love to fly a kite!

And we do have some wind here - unfortunately, it was conspicuously absent on the day of Arvada's 2009 Kite Festival.  Still, as you can see in the photos, lots of people got their kites up and had a great time with friends and family.

The kite festival was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.  Local people of all ages, all smiling, music playing, lots of good food.  I had a wonderful caramel apple, my husband had fresh-made donuts (they made them when you ordered them!).

Next year, we'll be prepared with a kite of our own!

I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the 'flavor' of our community, in case they're new or moving to the Denver area.

I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly suburbs northwest of Denver.
