The 9th Annual Lyon Township Kite Festival will draw professionals, hobbyists and  kite lovers of all kinds from around the region to James Atchison Park in New Hudson this weekend.

Joining them were Tim Muxlow, of Muxlow Exotics, and some of his favorite reptilian friends, which will also be on display at the event this weekend.
