Sunday June 7th, Civita Kite Festival – Sudberry Properties
The annual Civita Kite Festival is a really charming day of flying in our local community. They have generously provided us with a $1,000 donation for the past two years and will be contributing again this year. We have the volunteers needed for this festival. There is some light assembly involved, but overall it’s a very relaxed and enjoyable day. The volunteers we should all cheer on are listed below.
Event Duration: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Location: 7960 Civita Blvd, San Diego, CA 92108
We will arrive around 11:00 AM to begin assembling basic diamond-shaped kites. Attendees typically begin arriving at 1:00 PM, at which point we’ll start distributing kites. For the past two years, lunch has been provided, and we can expect the same this year from what I heard.
Sunday, June 28th at The Huntington “This Land Is” Event
I promised to talk more about this event at a later date during our club meeting on May 9th. Well, that time has come. The Huntington up in LA is hiring the San Diego Kite Club to fly on their east lawn for $3,000.00. Even better, it comes with some pretty awesome perks. We get free lunch and tickets to come back to the Huntington for one of their special events. We have extra tickets provided as well that we can gift away. Once again, the volunteers we should all cheer for are listed below.
Volunteer List – Don Fox, Monica Fox, Diane Spurgeon, Rick Spurgeon, Ray Miller, Ziggy, Robert Freed, Carol Freed, Vernon White, Shawn Farrow, Mark Quirmbach, Amy and Guy Butrum.
Date: Sunday, June 28, 2026
Event Duration: Please arrive no later than 9:45 AM and we fly from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens located at 1151 Oxford Rd, San Marino, CA 91108
Volunteer Description:
Our goal is to bring out 10 pilots, with an absolute minimum commitment of 8 pilots required. In addition, I’ll have 2 backup pilots on standby in case someone unexpectedly has to withdraw. We’ll be flying on the East Lawn inside a roped-off flight area. There are no obligations to provide lessons, interact with guests, or actively work the crowd. However, we are welcome to do a little crowd engagement using Hyperkite tails and quad-line kites if desired. This will be a fun fly for our club and a cool trip north.
The Big Job
We secured a big job, and it’s a big win for the club. The San Diego Kite Club continues to build strong momentum by turning a shared passion for kite flying into meaningful fundraising that supports our future. A small group of members will deliver a professional performance over three nights, generating over $6,650 for the club. Performers are generously volunteering their time, with compensation provided to support their participation and ensure a high-quality presentation.
This success reflects a true team effort, powered by dedicated volunteers and talented pilots. It’s also the result of consistent behind-the-scenes work to create these opportunities, with Ziggy playing a key role in building connections and maintaining that momentum.
Ziggy has coordinated the performance team through months of planning, ensuring a high level of professionalism throughout. He has also expanded the opportunity by facilitating partnerships that create added value for those involved.
Through these efforts, Revolution has produced 10 custom kites for the three-day event, while José Sainz has been contracted to design and build a custom Rokkaku advertising piece. These collaborations strengthen the overall presentation while creating additional revenue opportunities and professional exposure for members of the San Diego Kite Club, resulting in a mutually beneficial outcome for both the club and the broader kite community. We also flew in Scott Wieder from Team Kite Life to help lead as team captain for the quad line 4 person team segmet of our performance.
Flying performance team:
Hyperkite 12 Stack — Ray Miller (Hawaii’s Hyperkite Team Elite)
Happy flying out there and thanks for keeping up with what’s up.
