2008 Breeze on the Bay Tawas Bay Kite Festival
 
 
We are excited to invite you to our second annual Breeze on the Bay Tawas Bay Kite Festival on May 31 & June 1, 2008 in East Tawas’ Harbor Park. The Bay City Times is the sponsor of this fun-filled family event for residents, readers and vacationers alike.
 
An amazing selection of colorful, special-shaped kites and air creations will be flying high over Lake Huron in the heart of East Tawas, Michigan.
 
We hope you can be a part of our festival that promises to be a fun weekend for all. Our committee is currently looking for kiters to demonstrate their skills during the day on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as kite boarders and a night flight on Saturday, May 31.
