Kite experts from around the United States and Canada, including members of New York Kite Enthusiasts (NYKE) and noted kite historian Thom Shanken, will help kite fliers of all ages and skill levels on the windswept grounds around the old fort. In addition to kite flying, Americorps staffer Shannon Cilento will supervise pickup matches of Croquet on the parade ground inside the fort.
