Winds bring perfect kite-flying day for annual Cane Hill Kite Festival at Springhill Ranch.

They have been coming to the festival for three or four years and said they brought their nieces and nephews to fly kites. By this time, the kids were in the car because they were cold but the sisters, including a third sister, continued to fly kites on their own.

Daniels got the kite in the air and then let his nephew take over. Windy conditions prevailed Saturday to make it a perfect day for flying kites at Springhill Ranch. Last year, participants had a hard time flying kites because of the lack of wind.
