Photos: Kites over Batavia

By Howard B. Owens

While on Lewiston Road late Friday afternoon, I spotted these kites flying over the Batavia Downs' parking lot and so I swung down Park Road to investigate.

I should have known, it was Eric Olson, Batavia's Kite Man, out with his kite trailer looking to lure customers to his location.

Olson, whose day job is with the Genesee County Sheriff's Office, runs a sideline business selling kites at community events, and such.

Olson is a local kite dealer?? Does you have his contact info for his kite business? My husband and I have to purchase online or have order through a business, Airsport Shop, in Olcott, NY for our kites (we like to play with the more advanced kites). We would prefer to spend our money a little closer to home, as we prefer to put our money back into our area, and this would be a great opportunity to do so!
