Cary kite flying event takes off
Mother Nature took a break Saturday and provided everyone with a beautiful - albeit slightly windy - Saturday for Cary Park District's family kite-fly event at Lions Park.
The event is part of the Illinois Association of Park Districts' statewide Flying 4 Kids month, which aims to raise awareness of the association's youth license plate. Twenty-five dollars from each sale and renewal of the plates benefits the IAPD Power Play grant program, which provides beyond-school youth programming at park districts and recreation and conservation agencies in the state.
The park district was a recipient two years in a row of a Power Play Grant used for the E.T. KidZone
before and after school program.
