Family Kite Fest

Annual Event in April

This is a community event for people of all ages. It covers over ten acres at the A.L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport in Nacogdoches. There will be a display of 6 to 8 mega-kites, courtesy of WhatAKite in Lufkin. In addition to this display, there are regular kites and space for families to fly them. There are food and drink vendors, as well as snow cones and cotton candy. Games and activities include kite races, candy drops, bounce houses. We are proud to offer FREE ADMISSION to the hundreds of families from the surrounding area who attend this annual event.

Proudly sponsored by WHATAKITE, CHICK-FIL-A, and PARTY N' THINGS.

About The Helping House

Our primary purpose is that of providing early intervention services to local children with a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. A full-day private school program is offered during the school year. A Summer Clinic is available for two four-week sessions during June and July. In addition to on-campus services, behavior consulting and in-home training are also available on an individual basis. Our goal is to provide networking and support for all families in the Deep East Texas area who are affected by autism, whether your child is a full-time student at The Helping House or not.
