Wondering what else will be included in this weekend-long festival? Well for starters, on Friday at 6 p.m. at the Old School Gym in Cherry Valley there will be a Kite Building Workshop for people of all ages, costing only $3 dollars to participate, and at 7 p.m. at the gym, they’ll host their Indoor Kite Fly.
