Up in the Air

Maunaloa’s sky seems never ending; its windy tendency is perfect for flying kites. A few dozen kids harnessed the sky for a morning last Saturday, when Jonathan Socher of the Big Wind Kite Factory taught them how to make paper kites.

Socher and the other business owners of Maunaloa have a small swap meet every Saturday morning, but was bigger this week thanks to some local artists. A few weeks ago Socher was approached by author Donald Sunshine and musician Lono to provide some entertainment.
