Kites a-flying at the Kite DerbyThere was a great turnout for last weekend's TC Kite Derby. The TC Record Eagle has a report from the event, which apparently is Michigan's largest winter kiteboarding event.

I was there and talked with a lot of folks. I was pleased to find that there were quite a few from out of the area and for several, and that for many of these, this was their first visit to the area.

This photo is one of a set of 15 or so photos from the TC Kite Derby that you can view on Flickr.
