๐ช Colorful Kites Fill the Skies at Soaring Hearts Fundraiser in Mentor
What a beautiful dayโฆ
On May 18, Headlands Beach State Park transformed into a vibrant spectacle as colorful kites of various shapes and sizes filled the blue skies. The beach was bustling with kite fliers of all ages and skill levels, as well as numerous spectators.
The event, known as the Soaring Hearts biennial fundraiser, was organized by Mentor-based Crossroads Health, a non-profit dedicated to providing recovery and mental health services. This festive gathering was both a celebration and a beach party, aiming to set a new record by flying over 2,000 kites simultaneously.
In addition to the kites soaring high above Lake Erie, attendees enjoyed a variety of activities including food trucks, beach karaoke, games, and music from a DJ. The nearly perfect weather, with just the right amount of wind, ensured that the kites could take flight smoothly, creating a picturesque scene over Mentor.
