"Due to its uniqueness and family-oriented nature, Wind Fest has become one of our biggest events of the year," said Troy Cardwell, General Manager for Canaan Valley Resort.

This is a wonderful time to be in the mountains of Canaan Valley!"

Cardwell said the weekend will offer kite flying demonstrations and kite building workshops by Wings Over Washington, one of the nation's preeminent kite hobbyist organizations.
