Hi

We are starting a kite festival for this spring, over Memorial weekend. We would like to invite you to attend... It's called the "First Annual Quincy Kites & Chutes Festival"

If there is any way you can pass the word to let kiters and others know about us we would appreciate it.

Last fall we organized a Hot Air Balloon Festival, and had 7 balloons and just over 1200 people for our inaugural event and are trying to do that and more with kites this spring.

We have about 50 Powered parachutes lined up. Yes they will be seperated from the kites so as not to have tangled lines. Food caterors are getting scheduled. Entertainment is being booked. We have talked to several kite people about demo's, kite making classes, etc. This should be a fun time for all.

The Powered parachute's are arriving on Thursday May 21st. They will have classes, rides, and certification activities going on daily Friday the 22nd through noon Monday the 25th. We are anticipating having the kites somewhat the same, unless you suggest we only be from Sat thru sun. or monday.

We are 15 miles from either Crescent Bar or the Gorge Amphitheater in George, They are both busy that weekend... so there should be plenty of people we could pull from them to attend...

We are halfway between Seattle & Spokane just off I-90 at exit 154 then 7 miles north.

"Our goal is to make each and every event enjoyable, memorable, and beyond your wildest expectations!”

Parties on the Green's beautiful lawn can accommodate any large or small event. We are located on a 200 acre turf farm. So we have a LOT of room for your function. The property is 1/2 mile wide by 1 mile long of beautiful lush green grass. This property feels like a "golf course". We have 2 large tents, each tent can accommodate between 80 - 140 guests seated at round tables. Additional tents can be rented for all guests to be under cover. we have over 20 picnic tables that each seat 10 people, but you may want to bring a blanket or lawn chair?

Camping can be worked out on site but it would need to be self contained...

For more information on us you could look at our website at http://www.partiesonthegreen.com/ or call, e-mail or write.

Sincerely

Kent & Kim Bacon
