The Hoosier Kitefliers Society (HKS) was established in October, 1986 by twelve kite enthusiasts who held regular meetings at the Anderson/Madison County Visitors Bureau.
Today, the HKS consists of people from several states who share the common bond of the love of kites. Our purpose is to educate the public in the art, history, technology, and practice of building and flying kites and to advance kiting, its joys, and values.
We work together to promote the kite hobby by planning and coordinating kite activities, kite workshops, and kite demonstrations in conjunction with other community events.
Kites catch the imagination of both children and adults and can be a valuable learning tool. Kite flying is also a great option for family entertainment.
Join us! Some of the privileges of becoming an HKS member include: a subscription to our official newsletter, “Ride the Wind,” a membership card, a copy of the HKS by-laws (upon request), the right to nominate officers and vote in general proceedings of the organization and most important, friends in the flying field. To take full advantage of these benefits we encourage you to participate in HKS activities.
