Waterford — Visitors were taking in the sights of a kite-flying day organized by John Rose Kite-Flying Family and Friends on Saturday at Harkness Memorial State Park.
Rose, of Lisbon, started the informal displays of his collection of some 300+ kites in the fall of 2018 and holds the events as weather permits on Saturdays, and some rare Sundays, from spring through fall. He says they may go as late as Thanksgiving if the weather cooperates.
Kite-flying days are announced via his Facebook page, facebook.com/JohnRoseKiteFlying.
