Alright I figure I'll make a whole new entry about the kite festival just to make sure everyone see's it. It's at Callingwood Park 69 Avenue & 177 Street behind the Jamie plant YMCA arena. Tomorow is the last day and when they typically have all the rad sales.
There is a kite sales guy there who is really cool and doesn't gouge (he's from airdrie) so if you want a proper like direction-y kite bring like $25 or so bucks or if you want the classic flying in the sky on a string kite they have them for wicked cheap...or they did when I was at the Calgary kite festival 2 years ago...I'm pretty sure they do the same setup everywhere.
This guy
