"But even the tiniest of kids, from three or four-year-olds, were running around with their kites up and flying and there were no tears."
Mr Cayzer said a light breeze swept through on Sunday, making it perfect weather for kite flying.
"We only had one fly off and it's still stuck in the tree at the park," he said.
At the end of the day, the children were able to take home their kites to continue practising their flying skills.
"It was really good and very successful and we've plenty of good feedback from the community," Mr Cayzer said.
"We're definitely going to do it again, probably into the summer weather we'll have another go it was really good."
The Trangie Action Group was formed to benefit the community, and provide activities for the town's youth.
Mr Cayzer said the committee will next look to securing funding from Go Fishing NSW to host a catch and release fishing day for the children in October.
"The Action Group is for the benefit for the town, we're building the murals, but we're also trying to put more and more things on for the kids, to get the kids involved," Mr Cayzer said.
