Let’s Fly a Kite!

[cap­tion id=“attachment_3569” align=“aligncenter” width=“194” caption=“The Gov­er­nors Island Alliance is giv­ing away 750 free kites to Island vis­i­tors this Sat­ur­day ”][/​caption] Gov­er­nors Island is the per­fect place to fly a kite — there are acres of open green space to run and plen­ty of wind off the Har­bor. On Sat­ur­day, the Gov­er­nors Island Alliance is pre­sent­ing Let’s Fly a Kite, a free kite give­away that begins at noon. The give­away will be held on the Parade Ground, between Nolan Park and Colonels Row. Vol­un­teers will be on hand to help chil­dren assem­ble their kites and fly them. The Alliance will have 750 kites avail­able, so the give­away is on a first come, first served basis and will last until the kites run out!
