Travelers’ Rest Connection, which provides visitor services at Travelers’ Rest State Park, will hold festivities to open a new imaginative exhibit, “Visions of Lewis & Clark,” that has 34 kites inspired by the Lewis and Clark explorers. The exhibit was created by Terry Zee Lee, a nationally renowned kite designer and flyer.
Kite builders throughout the U.S. researched Lewis and Clark quotes and fashioned a fascinating flying history of the expedition. The kites’ designs and artwork reflect quotations in the Lewis and Clark journals and shows tributes to people, events or natural resources encountered by the explorers.
During the opening festivities, local mascots Monte from the University of Montana Grizzlies, the Paxton the Missoula PaddleHead, and Polly the Bee from Missoula Community Foundation will fly kites along with organizer Terry Zee Lee. Kids can color their own kite to fly.
The kites will be displayed at the Travelers’ Rest visitor center as well as sites throughout the community, including the Missoula Butterfly House, University Center, and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks regional offices.
