EDWARDSVILLE - Keep your eyes to the skies on Saturday, April 29th.  The City of Edwardsville Parks & Recreation Department is hosting a kite fly at Joe Glik Park on 710 East Lake Drive in Edwardsville, as part of the Illinois Association of Park Districts’ (IAPD) statewide kite fly, “Flying 4 Kids”.

The City of Edwardsville Parks & Recreation Department’s kite fly will take place from 9am-12 noon.  The first 50 participants receive a goodie bag but everyone gets to decorate their own kite!  These goodies are made possible by our generous sponsor: Cassens Transport Company.  All participants are encouraged to bring their own kites to participate in the fun fly which will take place during the entire event.
