This was held at Spring Point, South Portland, ME. Photos #3 and #5 are shots of the huge octopus kite which was the centerpiece of the fair.
As I was taking my photos of the kites, an American airliner went by on its approach to the airport, so I made a faux travel poster out of it for fun.

What amazing works of art these kites are. How fun for you to be there and for us to view them. I can only imagine driving down the interstate and encountering a high flying octopus

Thank you very much, Willaim; yes, it had to have been at least 30-40 feet long/tall.

Thank you very much, Linda; as one can see from the octopus photos, there were a lot of people there. I had to park a good quarter of a mile away and walk there.
