KiteFest Whitaker Center

MIH helped to produce String Fling in April 2006 , a Kite competition and demonstration officially recognized by The American Kite Flyers Association at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg‘s Reservoir Park. More than 1,000 people came to view the competitors, make kites, and participate on the amateur kite hill.

Dozens of competitors participated in the AKA sanctioned event. 

Kites were judged on design, construction, and fight performance in a variety of categories. 

Special thanks to Todd Little and the Keystone Kiters for organizing the competition.

Whitaker Center staff and volunteers helped hundreds of kids decorate and build their own kites from kits prepared in advanced.

Children flew their kites on the Amateur Kite Hill.


Designed to accommodate peak crowds in multiple stations, it proved to be the most popular activity at the event.
