Hi Betina, this looks like a great time to sponsor kites!  Make up enough to hand out to kids, each kite has a letter of your name and a phone #...company colors required!  It does sound like a fun time even if you are a spectator.  This is a family fun kind of event.  Have a Great 2009 Betina!

SOunds like this could be one of our first events to attend in Austin if we actually get moved down there by the end of February.  By the way, your blog says 2008, but I assume you mean 2009.

Dear Donna,

Good luck on the move I hope it goes smoothly. Are you coming to Austin proper or one of the out-lying communities? I know a good Realtor if you need one! LOL! Thanks for pointing out the year mentioned in the body of the blog was '08. Old habits die hard. At least the one in the title was correct. I have made the correction. Thanks!

;)
