Chicago Fire Kite Team Demo History :::

We love flying demonstrations for the public. An enthusiastic crowd of non-kitefliers is far more rewarding to fly for than a panel of judges. The Chicago Fire is always interested in adding new festivals and events to our schedule. Please contact us to enquire about our availablility.
