Panthers Flew Kites Sky High

By Lindsey Foster

Outdoor entertainment is on its way back to Ferrum College this spring. The Panthers enjoyed a kite-flying day initiated by Norton Outdoor Adventures program on Mar. 10, which was also one of the first events held in the Quad since the COVID. The weather cooperated for the most part, allowing students to fly kites that were provided by Norton Outdoor Adventures. The first 35 participants also created their own kites using kits provided by Norton Outdoor Adventures.

If you’re interested, check your Ferrum emails for more information about upcoming events.
