Despite the deluge of snow, hail and sub-freezing temperatures in March and April, there were sun breaks (granted most were only long enough to mow the lawn at a jog before the showers returned) providing a taste of much anticipated warmer weather. Pictured here, a young kite flyer runs across Mike Wallace Park, trying to get her kite up in the air at the Kites Over Kingston event March 29. On April 19, EcoFest and the Kingston Farmers’ Market got underway, even though it snowed the night before.
