This weekend, we participated in the Cape Fear Kite Festival. As a major part of the "Glow" event on Friday, Kiteman provided over 30 feather banners, battery operated lights and "Skyman" inflatables. During the daytime events, Kiteman Group partnered with our friends from Floshades to exhibit new 10ft "Mini" Floshades with custom printed graphics from Kiteman. Cool thing we discovered was at that size these Floshades could be flown vertically on poles to make giant flags! And as a special treat, we displayed a 25ft Printed Turtle as a flag. It was spectacular.

Happy Halloween! Just wanted to share a small project we did for the folks at Universal. They asked us to cut and sew some curtains that would be used to transform the Red Coconut Club on Universal's City Walk into the "Dead Coconut Club" for Halloween... while picking up the curtains, the prop master asked if we had any printable fabric that they could pump fog through... Of course we do! It ended up being used in a cauldron pot. We love doing unique projects!

Sometimes we get a chance to design and build custom printed kites for people. The request was to build a kite resembling the Quetzal. This kite has an approximately 8ft wingspan and 20ft flowing tails.

Brian Keating was doing some long exposure photography of our lighted kites performing at Cedar Point, and captured this. We like to think that Bruce Flora just happened to show up to say hi. Anyone else see it?
