Dear fellow Hanoverians:
What are you going to do with your April vacation? The Hanover
Cultural Council is excited to announce Kite Day 2009 for Hanover’s children.
On Saturday, April 25, Dr. Wallace Kemp will again open his field at 688
Main Street from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. to anyone interested in flying a kite
(rain date is Sunday, April 26). This field is situated on a hill which affords
wonderful kite-flying on a moderately windy day. As the field is part of larger
conservation area of the Wildlands Trust of Southeastern Massachusetts, there
is plenty of space for all. Don McCasland, the Program Director of the Blue
Hill Observatory and an avid kite-lover, will also be at the field to provide
great tips on kite-flying technique.
In conjunction with this event, the Friends of the John Curtis
Free Library will host a kite-making program on Saturday, April 25 from
10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. downstairs at the John Curtis Free Library. Don
McCasland will provide kite kits and show you how to construct your kite. This
event is recommended to children ages 4-8 with a parent and for 8 and over
without a parent (the parent must otherwise remain in the library). The
program lasts for about 45 minutes. These activities are free (funded by
the Hanover Cultural Council and the Friends of the John Curtis Free Library)
and open to the public, but you must register your child to make a kite at
the children’s circulation desk at the library. There are 40 spaces
reserved from 10:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., another 40 spaces from 11:15 a.m. to
12:00 p.m.
We hope you’ll join us for this great springtime event!
