One kite entered in the kite fight had thirty-six Gillette blades on its tail.  Another kite had a propeller that turned while the kite was in flight and each blade of the propeller was edged with razor blades.

The contest was won by Lee Allison who had equipped the tail of his kite with a spinning contrivance that outdid all comers.  Lee cut down five kites and won a large Orcho harp containing four keyboards.

The second kite contest was held on March 5, 1928, and over 3,000 people witnessed the event.  Seven major events were staged that day and the tournament was held on the aviation field of the San Angelo airways combine.  Troop 2 of the First Christian Church won the main event for having put the most kites in the air.  Signal flags, given by the council, and a gas lantern donated by Findlater Hardware Company, were awarded the troop.
 X. B. Cox won the number one event by having his kite gain the greatest altitude in thirty seconds on one hundred yards of cord.  His prize was a pocket knife given by the council and a shirt awarded by Robertson's Department store.  Gordon Buttery won the second event, for the kite using the most string over a fifteen-minute period.  He also received a knife from the council and a belt from Cox-Rushing-Greer.

The smallest kite to fly, event number three, was a midget three and a half inch affair, sent aloft by John Crotty.  He was awarded a fishing line and a pair of golf hose by E. & Q. Clothiers.

Donald Hardy won the fourth event by having the largest kite flying.  He had a huge five-footer and was awarded a flashlight and Holland Jewelry Company gave him a pair of cuff links.  Maurice Kleinman received a pocket knife for winning the fifth event for boys under twelve years of age.

The third year's contest was held on a Sunday afternoon, March 10, 1929, at the San Angelo Airport.  Over two hundred kites were flown that day and over 10,000 people came to see the event.  A free airplane ride went to the winner of the day.

J. T. Henderson won the final event, a kite fight.  Kites were equipped with razor blades, broken glass and whatnot for the purpose of cutting the strings and tearing up other kites while aloft.  J. T. Henderson told of the time when he accidentally cut another kid's arm while he was gesturing with his string of razor blades while talking with another Scout about his feat.  Neal Sanders awarded Henderson, for winning the kite fight, a pair of arrows and Hoyt Brothers gave him a necktie.

The Fourth Annual Kite Contest was held on March 23, 1930 at the southeastern edge of the city where at least 500 people gathered to watch the boys compete for the grand prize of an airplane ride over the city.  Jesse Coleman of Santorium, a member of Troop 3, won the airplane ride.

The smallest kite in the contest was entered by Myron Thornton of Troop 4 and was no larger than a penny match box.  The largest kite, a tail-less kite seven feet tall, was entered by C. C. McGill of Troop 4.

Some half a hundred Scouts competed, entering seventy-five kites.  Troop 2 led in the total number of points, scoring 83, with Troop 4 second with 50 points and Troop 3 third with 40 points.  Troop 2 entered 40 kites, Troop 3 had 18, Troop 4 had 8 and Troop 7 had 6 kites.

The Fifth Annual Kite Contest was held March 22, 1931.  The tournament was held on the field northeast of Glenmore Place on the Christoval road.  Several boys attempted an all-night endurance flight with their kites, but due to lack of wind, they failed in their attempt.  During the contest parachutes were dropped from large kites with tickets on them that entitled the finder to a prize.

A merchant's balloon race was the final event of the afternoon.  Eight-foot gas balloons were turned loose with tags of the merchants who sponsored the balloons.  The person who found one of the balloons and returned the tag to the merchant was awarded a prize.
