Susie and I are just back from a fine weekend celebrating the wedding of Rachel Hughes and Jeff Farro. Many of you know Rachel as the "Kite Gal" Co-Owner of Rehoboth Kite and Toy. It was a fine wedding. We drank a large quantity of several different alcoholic beverages, ate well, danced late into the evening, and when it was over (and the alcohol had worn off), I got to drive the bride to her hotel. I also got to bring her groom and my wife along. |

Our base was the luxurious Boardwalk Plaza Hotel. Susie refused to tell me what it cost, but the smile on her face was worth the price -- whatever it was. Besides, you know you've chosen the right lodging when you see the bell captain going home a the end of his shift with a Prism Quantum pro under his arm.
Sunday afternoon, we flew back to Oregon to begin processing spring shipments to the kite stores. A large new delivery had come in the day before we left and anxious retailers were waiting for the newest kites. Here's a look at what we have. Buy them locally or order from us. And to get a few pieces in the sky where other potential fliers can see them, we'll follow our usual Update practice of a ten-day new product markdown! Buy any of these cool new kites between now and May 20 and we'll take 20% off. |
