France with the honor

the French kite flyers were with the honor. Five others of them, including two Dieppois, ensured the kite demonstrations. It is a Frenchwoman, Thérèse Uguen which won the first price of the creative kite contest, chaired by an international jury.

In parallel, on the site of the festival, an exposure emphasized the kites "Rokkakus", realized and painted by the Dieppois artists (France), at the time of our festival in 2004. It collected a real interest on behalf of the public.

Yvon Lapierre, Mayor of Dieppe Acadie, was pleased with the quality and the perenniality of the exchanges between our two cities. It made a point of personally thanking the members for Dieppe Capital of the Kite for the assistance brought to the organization and the good course of the demonstration.

The appointment is taken right now for the next festival Dieppe France in September 2006.
