Submitted

The Hays Convention & Visitors Bureau is hosting a free Kite Show for the community on Sunday, September 15 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Bickle-Schmidt Sports Complex, 1376 U.S. Hwy. 183 Bypass.

This family-friendly event will feature the spectacular giant kite displays of Great American Kites & Events featuring some of the world’s largest kites.

“This event is the perfect way to end the summer season,” said Brittney Squire, Marketing Manager at the Hays CVB. “Guests should feel confident that even if the wind doesn’t cooperate, there will be plenty of activities on site for the whole family to enjoy.”

Several food trucks are confirmed to be at the event including Snow Cone Express, Chilly Charlie’s (freeze dried candy), Triple C Lemonade Stand, Taco Riendo, El Primo Burgers, and Floyd’s Smoke Shack. These vendors will set up in the sports complex parking lot. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, coolers, and drinks into the sports complex, but glass bottles are not allowed. Pets on leashes are allowed at the complex, but owners must clean up after their pets.

Other activities include yard games sponsored by Big Brothers Big Sisters Serving Ellis County, the bookmobile courtesy of the Hays Public Library, the Fort Hays State University Makervan, and live animals from the Sternberg Museum of Natural History.
