LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY (May 4, 2015) – It was another gorgeous day for a Kite Festival at SUNY Sullivan on Saturday, May 2. And the crowd of children of all ages were there in force to enjoy the beautiful skies, the colorful kites and the multitude of vendors.

The date marked the quarter century mark for the annual event, which attracts hundreds of people from near and far.

While some people are there for the sole purpose of flying kites, others come to hear the music, or picnic on the campus grounds, some bring their kids to the bouncy houses or to pick up a nice bargain or enjoy some delicious food. Or maybe they were there to see the winners of the Sullivan County Pageant.

In addition to the

outdoor festivities, there was a student art show in the library/theatre lobby, and a student film festival going on in the Seelig Theatre.

There was even a Charlie-Brown-Kite-Eating-Tree.

Here are some photos from the event where everyone (even the dogs) were having a sunny, kite-filled day.
