Sky filled with color

Thousands of people turned out Saturday to enjoy Color the Wind in the unseasonably warm weather.  Kite fliers donned their waterproof boots and ice cleats as the sun had melted the snow cover on the lake, making it very wet and slippery, but still safe for the venture.  Organizers Larry and Kay Day declined to guess how many people made the trip out to see the kites, but noted several local restaurants and snack shops reported huge crowds.
