As usual, the association Dieppe Capital of Kite took part again in the acadian festival. The french team came in order to bring its assistance to the organization of the fourth edition of the acadian festival from the 15 to the 19 of August.

Largely inspired of its "big brother", the acadian appointment accommodated this year 13 foreign delegations. (South Africa, Germany, England, Australia, Austria, Canada, The United States, France, India, Italia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, Tasmania and Wales), around a common theme : "Mardi Gras in the Sky".

The delegation "dieppoise" (France) which was on the spot in order to represent her festival, was very happy to see again our friends, of course!

Whereas Jason (coordinator of the acadian festival) was busy to help those taking part in the demonstration,

Roger and Didier were active on the fly area.

While Stéphane made every effort to help all visitors on the kite workshop with Sarah Longbottom, Sara Vreeswijk et Monique Witzell,

Jacqueline, for her part, informed with great pleasure people who wanted to meet her and to discover the town of "Dieppe France".

The stand of Dieppe France was a sharp success. Many visitors went there in order to obtain information on Dieppe and on the festival of kite.

Commemoration - Dieppe Raid remembered

These commemorations are always very touching.

It's with honor and respect, that Jacqueline Auvray, member of Dieppe Capitale du Cerf-Volant, but town councillor too, represented Dieppe during these ceremonies of souvenir.
