The winds weren’t exactly whipping Tuesday, but enthusiasts and curious passersby managed to get quite a few kites high in the sky over the field near Dixie Baptist Church in Springfield Township.
Great Turtle Toys, located in Independence Township, will host the kite fly at Dixie Baptist every Tuesday, from 6-8 p.m., during the summer. There’s no charge, and all are welcome to stop by. Photos by Laura Colvin
