COHO FESTIVAL CONTEST

Kites to fill the

TO SEE a sky full of bright-
ly colored kites is a dream
that West Vancouver resi-
dent Fred Van Aggelen
hopes will come true during
the first North Shore Kite
Flying Contest Sept. 13° at
Ambleside Park.

“HPowent to a kite fying contest
in’ Vaneouser and it looked so
pretty, the sky was covered with
brilliant colors.’ sitid Van Ap-
gelen, who initiated the Ambleside
Park contest.

The contest coincides with the
annual Coho Festival, and a salm-
on barbecue, beer garden and live
entertainment will add to the
festivities in the park.

The contest will take place on
the grassy area between the water
and the railway tracks, the duck
pond and the parking lot. The
contest will start at 4 p.m. and at 5
pam. all flying kites will be judged.
“The kites have to be fying.” Van
Ageelen warns. The judges are
members of the B.C. Kite Flying
Association and West Van Lions
Club.

Awards of $25, funded by the
West Van Lions Club, will be
awarded for five categories: best
homemade kite, most unique kite,
largest kite, most colorful kite and
highest flying kite. Van Agvelen
said the contest is meant for
children. ‘We are after young kids
and for them to have fun with
their parents,”’ he said, but no age
limit is set.

Van Aggelen, who used to build
his own kites as a child, has some
tips on home fabrication. A. stick

the length of the kite will be crass-
ed by a shorter stick the width of
the kite. Newspaper can be stret-
ched over this frame, or nylon
cloth for a more durable kite, Van
Aggclen said. A strip at the bottom
of the kite as tail and a ground str-
ing from the crossbar will complete
the kite.

Van Aggelen said next year the
centest will be preceded by a kite
making workshop. ‘'The real art in
making a kite is that the kite is
light enough but will nor rip,’ Van
Aggelen said, adding that a lighter
kite will fly higher.

A casual kite flyer all his life,
Van Aggelen expects a yood tur-
nout. ‘‘! see lots of kite flying go-

The contest will need a dry win-

Ambleside Park is the ideal loca-
ion. ‘There is always wind from
the water which lifts a kite easily
