The ninth annual Mille Lacs Kite Crossing is on track to continue as one of the largest and most dynamic snowkite events in the country. Last year, Mother Nature challenged the possibility of even doing the event with open water into January, but then became a team player providing us with some of the best conditions since the first Kite Crossing. Check out and relive last year’s event at .

The Notice of Challenge in a PDF format is available by contacting us at Fleet-8@juno.com. It should provide all the necessary information. We will be accepting electronic registration by e-mail. If you have registered for a Fleet 8 event in the past two years and nothing has changed, just provide your name, category, shirt size and preferred e-mail address for receiving Updates. You can pay by Paypal below. The PayPal button is a Donate button and has a fixed amount of $30 until midnite Tuesday, the 26th, then the $40 late fee goes into effect. Guest banquet fees can be paid at the site.

Riders of all levels are encouraged to attend. Come out, meet riders from around the area, share the stoke, check out some new gear and learn some new moves. We would also like to thank our hosts at the Harbor Inn, Garrison VFW, Y-Club and around Garrison as well as our loyal sponsors.

As always, volunteer help is appreciated. Additional snowmobiles may be needed, so if you are not ready for the challenge and/or have friends with machines, contact us. We would also appreciate help with site setup as well as terrain park development. Even if you want to participate, or have a guest that would like to contribute, contact us at Fleet-8@juno.com. Let us know of your projected arrival and your interest of contribution.
