stevepigeon Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) The 13th Annual Treasure Island Kite Festival is January 16 & 17 2010 We are on our way to putting together an awesome event for you all!! Here is what we have so far.. The Thunderbird Beach Resort is the host hotel. Call (727) 367-1961 Rooms start at $89/night. Book early! Thanks to Robbie, Gary and Maggie we will see the return of the Treasure Island Sport Kite Championships. The registration will be up soon on the Eastern League website http://www.easternleague.net/ We would like to bring the North American Mega Fly Record back to TI!! So check the poll box so we can get an idea of how close we can get to the record. There will be the usual candy drops, bol races and we'll need some of you to do demos for the crowd. WhatAKite will be joining us for the first time! Barry and Karen will be displaying their show kites for us. http://www.whatakite.com/ No auction this year ( we will have some raffels) but we are going to have the room open for a Saturday Night Swap Meet. So bring your kite bags! As always Ben will be there (I think he comes just for the meatball sandwiches ) Ben will have his own field so you all can get together and fly with him. We sure would appreciate it if you all took turns giving Rev Flying Lessons so we can give Ben some R & R time. We are working on an Indoor Competition with Scottie. We have the event listed on Facebook you can also RSVP there http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=1688...2937&ref=mf Let the fun begin! We'll keep you updated as we confirm activities. Looking forward to seeing you all in January! Sherri & Steve Edited October 18, 2009 by stevepigeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AldenMiller Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I already have the time off from work. I am driving down the weekend before and going back the Monday after. I'll be staying in Venice for the first part of the week, thinking about hoteling it for a couple of nights so I can hang out with everyone. -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiteLife Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 TK and I hope to make it, if finances work out, and if there are no scheduling conflicts. This is the weekend after KTAI and before SPI, might be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'd like to catch up with the Rev Riders, I'm about 80% sure I'll be there. Probably with my daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 This is very enticing. I'd like to make at least one trip away this winter. I don't know that I could do this and Kite Party. But right now KP is a big question mark that may not happen for me, and if so, I'd surely try to make this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVflyer Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Barbara and I will arrive on the 14th and depart on the 20th. We thought about the Amtrak car carrier train, but Southwest Air is so "dirt cheap" we're flying instead to Tampa from BWI. See y'all there gang!

stevepigeon Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 We're meeting with the Sunset Flyers and TISKK tonight. I will update you tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcope Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Ben will have his own field so you all can get together and fly with him. We sure would appreciate it if you all took turns giving Rev Flying Lessons so we can give Ben some R & R time.Not a problem, I am willing to give Ben a few lessons. The first one will be on fashion! Rule one... clothing should not be bought in bulk! I don't care what kind of deal you get on 100 pairs of plaid shorts!I'm really looking forward to this years event. I've loved every minute of the past 10 or so festivals and I might say this every year but I think this years event could be bigger then all of the rest. TI is such a great place to have an event and with the powerhouse of Sherri and Steve behind it, it's got to be good. Sport Kite competition, great single line kites, a workshop, possible indoor fly. So diverse! Or as some people say... "the sky's the limit"! Edited October 25, 2009 by tcope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepigeon Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 TI UPDATE! The registration for the TISKC is up on the Eastern League website! http://easternleague.net/ Robbie did a great job on the registration!! For you Rev lovers... Scottie is our official Mega Fly caller!! I'm looking forward to flying with Scottie in a couple of Mega Flies. We'll have a Mega Fly in the main demo field on both days. Speaking of Mega Flies.. Scottie will also be doing a Team Flying Clinic on Friday. If you have always wanted to learn how to fly team or want to sharpen your skills this will be a great clinic. Scottie has been teaching Rev flyers for many years and I have been a student of his for the past 2 years. I don't believe that I would have taken the National Championship without his help. With that being said.. The Scott Weider Team Flying Clinic will be on Friday from 9am till 5pm. At this clinic you will learn.. How to fly in a Team format The Team maneuvers.. Ball, Burst, Dosey-Do, Pez, Radar and more for those of you with more skills. The clinic is limited to 12. Three teams of 4 that will be bought together for a large team fly at the end of the day. The clinic is $50.00 per person and I will keep you updated if we can include lunch in you registration. Please email me to register at [email protected] There is more to come!! Stay Tuned!
