On top of it all! That’s Hauge Historic District Park in the Town of Perry, Wisconsin. The 30-acre park surrounding Hauge Log Church (circa. 1852) National Historic Site is a spectacular kite flying destination overlooking a beautiful countryside.

With a little help from the kiting community, the park recently topped competitors for grant funding through the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). As a result of the grant and fundraising by town residents, park visitors and kite fliers now have a very nice modern public restroom built in the quaint style of their historic church, says Doug King, Parks and Open Space Committee Chair for the Town of Perry.
Get this… the Town of Perry’s grant submission prompted the DNR’s first-ever designation of kite flying for funding points when rating for “outdoor recreation” during the evaluation and competitive bid process. As a result, the town received the DNR’s first-ever awarding of those points.
How the Difference Was Made
“When we submitted ‘kite flying’ as an outdoor recreation activity, along with links to your videos right there in the park,” says King, “there was a long discussion about that, beginning with, ‘What? Kite flying?’
“Then when we advised kite flying also qualifies as meeting DNR criteria for ‘winter sports’, there was an even bigger incredulous ‘WHAT?’ So, your Frozen Assets Festival kite videos were very convincing too.
“As of now, outdoor recreation grant funding points can be awarded for kite flying!!!!!!!” – Doug King
