Box 1967 Estes Park, Colorado 80517 Dear Bob, July 10, 1992 Since we last talked I have been gathering information and ideas on holding a kite festival/competition event in Estes Park. As I mentioned to you before, there has not yet been a major kite competition in our region. Most are held near the coasts or the great lakes. I think the combination of the uniqueness of the Rocky Mountain setting and the steady winds of your area have the potential to draw a lot of nationally known fliers and judges to Estes Park's event. Both the members of our Fort Collins and Denver kite clubs are excited about pitching in and making this happen in Estes Park. I am also a member of a computerized network kite "bulletin board" and am getting a lot of positive response to holding a national kite competition in the Rocky Mountain region. I have been interested in creating a stunt kite competition/festival in our area ever since I founded Wind Magic Kite Club in Fort Collins. I feel my interest in kites and my connections with local as well as national kite flyers and makers gives me an advantage in creating a nationally recognized competition in Estes Park. I have connections with an event management company, a national judging coordination company, and the AKA (American Kitefliers Association) that will assure that this competition is both professionally organized and exciting for competitors and spectators alike. It has the potential for being a major source of tourist dollar income for the Estes Park area as well. Kate Taylor, a local events coordinator, and I have toured the ballparks close to the fairgrounds and find them suitable for a major competition area. They provide adequate area for set-up, competition and single -line and stunters freefly area --plus adequate restrooms, parking and vendor and food areas. We would also need a public address (sound) system and spectator stands for the competition area. Another aspect we would need to discuss is insurance needs and police and fire department requirements. Insurance may be covered by blanket policies for the park, and the AKA automatically insures it members at sponsored events, so this may not be an issue. Enclosed are details of event activities, income, costs, and staffing, as well as estimated participants numbers. These estimates are based on similar events around the country. I am excited about creating a national kite event in Estes Park and am looking forward to working with you. Sincerely yours, Ken Yoder President, Wind Magic Kite Club Estes Park Kite Festival/Competition Proposal Proposed name: Rocky Mountain Kite Festival and Competition Proposed date: April 24/25, 1993 I would propose that this be a 2 day event. Besides the unique location, other incentives for registration and participation will include : •AKA (American Kitefliers Association) accreditation •National/regional circuit and league.points--as available •Core stunt kite (dual -line) competition schedule •Innovative and quad -line competitions *Single -line special competitions •Phone-in and MasterCard/Visa registration •Sunday Awards Banquet. Several other competition organizers have highly recommended having cash prizes as well as plaques/certificates, and donated prizes and gift certificates. Other fun events and demonstrations that draw both competitors and spectators will include •Rokkaku Kite Battles *Single -line and stunt kite freefly areas •Target and dropnik target competitions and demos •Sky art; quad -line demos and workshops; stack, arch, and lighted night flying demos •Kite making and flying workshops for adults and children •Judging seminars and workshops •Saturday Chuckwagon dinner affair (with possible -charity auction) •Kite hospital, kite shops and local vendors, and food festival •Souvenirs like event T-shirts, hats and pins •Sightseeing excursions arranged for the Monday after the festival •Free kites and kite making for kids •Ongoing music and entertainment. Which and how many of these events depends on funds and what the various kite groups and local sponsors have available. Some of the standard, and therefore expected, events and offerings of a national kite competition we need to include are: •Core Stunt Kite Competitions •National magazine and AKA publicity •Event Program with advertising A quality event program has become the norm for kite competitions nationwide. This program includes the schedule of events and workshops, n map, safety rules, the sponsor list, and paid advertising. •AKA Judges and local celebrity judges Approximately 16 judges will be needed for all the events. Stunt competition judges will work in four teams of three, led by an AKA trained judge. Each team will cover two events per day. A minimum of four AKA approved judges will be required, the rest will be recruited from locally known kitefliers and celebrities. In addition, four judges will be used for single -line special competitions and other roving judges decisions. All AKA approved judges (but one in Colorado Springs) are currently from out-of-state. To rernedy this situation for the future two AKA judge training seminar/workshops will be held at this kite festival to encourage local people to become AKA judges. The out-of-town judges will need lodging and travel expenses, but usually do not need to be paid. A local hotel sponsor may be of immense help with the lodging needs. Food and ground transportation for judges is not required, but again local sponsorship can help get quality judges. •Awards Banquet The hotel sponsor is usually the best place to hold the Sunday Awards Banquet. It will be approximately 200 people. *Event T-Shirts for Competitors It has become expected that competitors receive an event T-shirt with their registration. Event staff/volunteers/judges wear a different color T-shirt to aid in their identification. And a third color is available for sale at the event to increase event income. *Collector Hats and Pins Event hats and pins have also become expected. These can be produced by the event organizers or the local clubs to generate revenue. •Vendor booths Booth rental space fees will be set based on local noun. Sometimes a percentage of sales is charged as well. I rely on your expertise and suggestions for setting this up, but it can be a major revenue producer. •Kite hospital Usually tt,local kite shop sets this up. A Boulder shop may be interested in this aspect. •Aid Station- Thirst Aid, First Aid, and Sun Aid Deep Rock water will often set up a Thirst Aid booth, local medical/fire folks usually provide sun screen and handle the first aid station, but some kite clubs may be interested too.
