Okoboji, IA (KICD) — This is the fifth year for the Boji Kite festival at Winter games. It started when Okoboji resident Steve Boote rigged up his own toys, and then inviting other enthusiasts. Participants this year include a pyrotechnician from Disneyworld, and the world’s most prolific kite-maker from New Zealand.

And yes the owners do pay attention to the weather conditions.

This is the first year that kites will be lit at night. L.E.D. technology makes that possible.
