Kite festival on tap Saturday

Families are invited to attend the Community Kite Festival from noon-4 p.m. Saturday at the Jefferson City Jaycees Fairgrounds.

The day includes kite workshops, crafts, food, giveaways, kite-flying demonstrations and prizes for the two most creative, homemade flyable kites.

Attendees will learn about the history of kites, and children can participate in kite-building workshops. While children can fly the kites they make, they are also encouraged to bring their own kites.

Sponsored by Central Baptist Church, the event is free to the public.
