Although the winds were initially light and rains came to Hays later in the afternoon, the larger kites were able to launch.

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