Thursday, March 24th on PBS... (and on Sunday, March 27th too!)
Post date: Mar 22, 2011 6:08:36 AM
Following is an email that I received from Maria, a producer at KSMQ TV in Austin, MN. I had shared some photos from some of our kiting events with her. Some may appear in one of the shows that will air this week she mentions. The stories feature MKS's own Craig "Mr. Kite" Christiansen. From the email it sounds like there will also be some video and pictures from Color the Wind. So everyone set your Tivo's and for us old folk set your VHS's (or just look for it on YouTube too).

P.S. If you contributed photos of the Clear Lake, IA kite fly to the “Mr. Kite” piece, your photos won’t be seen in this episode (we ended up being able to shoot some video) – but they can be seen in a different version of the “Mr. Kite” piece which will air on all Minnesota PBS stations on Thursday, March 24th, beginning at 7pm. The “Mr. Kite” piece should air sometime around 9pm that day.
