31st Annual Kontest di Fli (Kite-Flying Contest) is Sunday, April 5th, 2009
Each year in the spring months, many children (and adults) on Bonaire enjoy the annual Kontest di Fli, or Kite-Flying Contest, which will be held for the 31st consecutive year this Sunday, April 5, 2009.
The contest will begin at 8:00 AM and continue all day long until 6:00 PM and is held in the Juventus field, located just behind Kooyman’s. Each young contestant must create their own kite, and each one is unique and a personal work of art. There are prizes for the smallest, strangest, most beautiful, the biggest, and the most original kites. A grand prize is also awarded.
For visitors who are lucky enough to be on Bonaire this Sunday, it’s a fun event to stop by and watch for an hour or two. The atmosphere is picnic-like, and the children and their kites make great photographic subjects. All are invited to stop by and watch. (Source: Extra)
