Chester Cooper Shares His Love of Kites at Garden Villas
CHESTER (CHET) COOPER, a Garden Villas North resident, puts the finishing touches on a kite while children from the Communities Early Childhood Center watch.
Life-long North County resident and business owner, Chester (Chet) Cooper can be seen frequently along Parker Road, between New Halls Ferry and Old Halls Ferry roads, flying colorful kites. Cooper owned and operated Moonlight Printing Office Supplies.
Cooper started building kites at the age of seven, and now shares his knowledge and skill with others, such as children from the Communities Early Childhood Center. He retired to Garden Villas North over seven years ago. With the help of activity personnel and the maintenance department, he makes and designs all of his kites using recycled materials.
He has become so popular that he has many requests for custom kites from visitors and the neighborhood.
Cooper is particularly grateful to the maintenance men who kindly retrieve kites from nearby trees.
