Tony & Ann Killip from Wataga, IL. We have been flying kites together for 38 years from the sandy beaches of Hawaii to the falls of the Niagara River. Like most everyone else we both flew kites as kids and we simply carried the love of kite flying into adult hood. While we started out with small store bought kites, as the years passed our kites have gotten bigger and more expensive. We build most of our own kites now and we like our kites big. We travel the country attending perhaps 12 or more kite festivals a year.
