She loves small-town life and currently enjoys living on a small farm in the ND prairie. She's always had a passion for writing and has participated in novel writing challenges such as NaNoWriMo multiple times. Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.
May is finally here and that means Memorial Day weekend is soon. If you haven’t already made any plans, you definitely will want to mark your calendar for one of the funnest festivals happening in North Dakota that weekend. Enjoy an entire long weekend of kite flying – an activity fun for all ages – at this amazing event:
Spend your Memorial Day weekend at this kite extravaganza in North Dakota: Sky Fest Over Ft. Stevenson.
This event is in Ft. Stevenson State Park near Garrison, North Dakota and right alongside beautiful Lake Sakakawea. The long weekend is gearing up to be three days of awesome kite fun.
From May 25-27, 2019, the fort will turn into a family friendly festival where you can camp in the park, enjoy the vendors, take part in activities, and of course fly kites to your heart's content.
Professional kite makers, enthusiasts, and flying groups from all over will be coming to Ft. Stevenson for the weekend to show off their incredible kites. You don't need a fancy, expensive kite to fly here, though - you can use whatever you have and make full use of the wide open North Dakota skies.
If you need an idea for Memorial Day weekend plans, then Sky Fest Over Ft. Stevenson should definitely be it! Admission to the event is entirely free and a day pass into the park is only $7.
