Blue skies with wisps of clouds greeted guests at the Galt Area Historical Societyâs annual Kite Day event on Sunday, April 11. Clad in masks, and practicing social distancing on the more than 15 acres of lawns, nearly 150 guests attended the free event.
Many families came out to enjoy the conditions and try their hand at flying kites.
Seeking optimal winds, young and not so young guests sent colorful kites soaring above the fields at the McFarland Living History Ranch.
Young guests had the opportunity to make their very own kite in the ranchâs red barn thanks to volunteers Joan Werblun, Adela Arvizu and Alyssa Herrera. Guests chose from numerous colors of paper to create the base of their kites. Adding a straw, string and their color choice for a crepe paper tail, guest shot out of the barn, running past other kite flyers with their brand new, handmade kite.
