Vault Visit | Church makes 'Worlds Largest Kite'

We end the month of March with a little fun!

GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year, WFMY News 2 turns 75! So to celebrate, We're opening the WFMY News 2 vault. 

We end the month of March with a little fun!

In March of 1971, members of Brightwood Baptist Church showed off what they said was the world's largest kite. 

It was 20 ft. tall and 10 ft. wide. 

"It will fly... I'll tell you it will. today we flew it and the 165-pound line snapped after we got it up about 300 feet. so it takes a rather large string to fly it,"

They made it for "Kite Sunday". 

They planned to give the kite to the person who brought the most visitors to the church. 

All the children got regular-sized kites as well.
