Sue, Assuming that you saw the kites between Little Texas and the highway (US 58), they were in Southampton County. One thing to keep in mind in that area is that Emporia is one of our independent cities, although some editions of the DeLorme atlas don't indicate that it is. In that immediate area you can see the kites (and lots of other things) in three counties (Southampton, Greensville, and Sussex) as well as the IC of Emporia. CMS > Ok, I'm in.
