Colorful unidentified flying objects seen in Buffalo airspace

It turns out, not all flying objects are bad news. Kites on Ice was a huge success.

Many flying objects were seen over the weekend at Buffalo Lake. The flying objects in Buffalo were kites of all shapes and sizes. The Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce hosted their fifth annual Kites on Ice Festival on Saturday, February 11, on frozen Buffalo Lake. You could see the wonderful display of kites in the distance as you drove into Buffalo on Highway 25.

Experienced kite flyers from around the United States demonstrated their skills with kites of different colors and sizes. People also brought their own personal kites to fly, and kids were able to get free kites while supplies lasted.

There were food trucks, a beer garden, and hot chocolate to keep warm. Many adults participated in the cornhole tournament during the festival. There was dogsledding, kick sleds, and many kids played boot hockey, some even brought their skates. “Chopper- The World’s Nuttiest DJ,” entertained those who attended with his fun music.

Families and friends came together to enjoy the beautiful weather. There was enough wind to carry the large kites, but not enough to make anyone want to stay indoors. The temperature was warmer than it has been recently. The high temperature in Buffalo on February 11, was 36 degrees Fahrenheit, and the low for the day was 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

It was perfect weather to fly a kite, enjoy a dogsled ride, go skating, or just get some fresh air and enjoy the view. The event was a huge success and enjoyed by people from Buffalo and beyond.
