According to the Byron Shire News:

Lisa is looking for sporting teams, school classes, community or interest groups or even groups of friends of 10, dressed in their colours, to register on-line from January 26 for the Country Energy Kite Record Attempt.

The entry fee is $10 and everyone will receive a green, yellow or white kite to paint beforehand. Event co-ordinator Joanne McMurtry is encouraging families from outside the shire to stay for the weekend and enjoy all the eco-friendly family fun. "Kites and Bikes won't burn a hole in families' pockets, since nearly all the activities are free," she said.

"Apart from the festival day on Sunday March 22, there will be plenty of activities on the Saturday, such as last minute registration for the Country Energy Kite Record Attempt, kite making and bike decorating workshops, junior star search heats, and several organised bike rides in the hinterland."....

And as festival sponsorship and promotions co-ordinator, Kim is now looking for minor sponsorship for naming rights of the various kite, bike and entertainment activities and would love to have offers of support from individual residents as well as the local businesses.
