Also returning for their 17th appearance, the Canadian Dream Team will showcase two GIANT whale kites, the debut of a new 120-foot Trilobite kite, and the exclusive IKEA Shark Kite, available only at the Outta Sight Kite Flight Flight kite Festival.
Additional featured performers include Milwaukee professional kite flyer Paul Koepke, Vancouver’s Jim Almas, and Montreal’s Jean Lemire, who will attempt to fly three to four stunt kites simultaneously to music, and The Flying Emus, performing with four-line stunt kites. Amy and Connie Doran, known from America’s Got Talent, will also entertain guests throughout the weekend.

The Workshop Everyone in Fashion Wishes They Had Years Ago
Join Our Exclusive 1-Day Professional Fashion Workshop
Most people spend years sewing garments… yet never truly understand why clothing fits correctly — or why it does not.
Garments pull. They twist. They collapse. They feel uncomfortable. They look expensive on one person and completely wrong on another.
And most people never learn the real reason why.
That is because true garment fitting is a professional skill rarely taught outside of high-end fashion houses, bespoke tailoring environments, and advanced professional training.
On Saturday, July 18, 2026, nationally recognized Master Bespoke Tailor Eric W. Stiles Sr. will present an exclusive live 1-Day Professional Fashion Workshop at Moraine Valley College in Building M, Room M210, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
Students have attended Eric's classes and workshops from throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin because the professional knowledge presented is difficult to find elsewhere and is well worth both the modest cost and travel time.
This is not a sewing class!
This is a rare behind-the-scenes look into the professional world of garment fitting, body proportions, balance, drape, and fit analysis — the same concepts used in luxury tailoring and high-end garment development.
For 2.5 intensive hours, participants will learn how professionals actually SEE clothing.
You will begin understanding:
• Why garments pull, twist, collapse, or feel uncomfortable • Why some clothing flatters the body and some does not • How body proportions affect fit • How professional fitters identify problems immediately • How to visually evaluate garments like a professional • How proper fitting changes the entire appearance of clothing • Why expensive garments can still fit poorly • The hidden details most people never notice
Once you understand professional fitting principles, you will never look at clothing the same way again.
This workshop is designed for:
• Fashion students • Designers • Sewing enthusiasts • Tailors and alteration specialists • Boutique owners • Beginners wanting professional knowledge • Anyone frustrated with poor garment fit • Anyone serious about fashion, clothing, and appearance
Eric W. Stiles Sr. brings more than 40 years of professional experience in luxury garment construction, bespoke tailoring, and high-end fashion. His background includes work connected to internationally respected fashion houses including Brioni, Giorgio Armani, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Tom Ford.
Students and attendees consistently describe his workshops as eye-opening, inspiring, practical, and unlike anything they have experienced before.
Many people spend years learning sewing techniques without ever learning the science and visual art of proper fit.
This workshop changes that.
And for a limited time, the fee for this exclusive professional workshop is just $63.21.
Considering the level of professional knowledge being presented, this is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone serious about fashion, garment construction, alterations, or understanding how clothing truly fits the body.
Seats are limited and expected to fill quickly.
Those who attend will gain knowledge that permanently changes the way they see garments, proportions, and the human body.
More professional fashion workshops will follow.
