To see where we have been since 1991 “hit” LVKS logo to the left.

Since the transformation and transition last spring (2008) of LVKS into PKS we have been busy. AKA National Kite Month (April 2008) PKS won an award for “ most workshops” during the month. We received 3 Martin Lester, New Tech kites as our prize. We also now have about 25, five foot PKS feather flags to match the 50 or so LVKS ones we also display. We have made two larger PKS flags, a 10 foot and 12 foot, and repaired many of the LVKS banners and flags so they could still be used. We built a 45 foot PKS Logo Kite for the Kitebuilding Competition at MASKC in April. (did not win). This kite design, a Heksebeest, is also the logo kite for our Sister Club “Dutch Kite Symphony” in The Netherlands.

We have attended, MASKC, WILDWOOD, SUNFEST and the AKA CONVENTION in Gettysburg, Pa. In addition, PKS has produced, two “Kite Day in the Park” Festivals in May and late August. And in keeping the LVKS tradition we have built almost 700 kid’s kites at Longwood Gardens, schools, Big Brothers & Big Sisters and at our own Kite Days in the Park.

For the Christmas season we donated kites in the name of “Pocono Kite Symphony” to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” campaign. For the new year, we have hopes of many more PKS projects, festivals, Kite Days and friendships. Hope to see you along the way. Andy Gelinas, President…
