Even though the town postponed their kite-flying contests to the following day, hundreds still turned out on a windy Saturday afternoon to run colorful kites of many different shapes and sizes up in the air, crowding the sky with rainbows, planes - even a pterodactyl.

Cary's free 15th Annual Kite Festival took place over two days on the multi-purpose field at Fred G. Bond Metro Park, located at 801 High House Road. Saturday's art and kite-building classes for children went on as scheduled.

Sunday's rescheduled events included a stunt kite demonstration sponsored by Kites Unlimited, a specialty kite shop based in Altantic Beach. Kite fliers were also eligible for various awards in the kite-flying contests, including Youngest Kite Flier, Oldest Kite Flier, Quickest Take-Off, Best Tangle and more.

"Our annual Kite Festival is a great way to enjoy the spring weather in Cary," said Tracey Filomena, the town's recreation program specialist.
