Volunteering has always been an important aspect of giving. There are times when I need a lift so yesterday, I volunteered for the Special Olympics venue at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah.
The spirit of competition and comradery among the athletes was awe inspiring from the opening parade ceremony, the field events to the presented awards. So grateful to have spent time with such amazing people.

The Kite Festival is an affordable event for all and many events are FREE, including parking, admission, some children's games, entertainment, the concert, fireworks, and of course, kite flying.
