The Christianville Spirit
The Spirit that touches lives
November 16, 2008-TCS # 126
From now till’ the November 20 is a special time in The City of Christianville because I have this festival called Christian’s Best Friends’ Festival that honors my best friends. This is the 4th year that this festival has been going on. The festival is held in Downtown Christianville on Friends St. (except for Brooke Day which is November 17 in Downtown Brooke). You see, my friends are very important to me and my idea to honor them is with this festival. I choose a couple of my friends and have days and events on those days to honor them. So, the first day which is November 16 honors My Brother, Michael because he is an awesome brother. On Michael Day, This year in honor of our dog Sophie and grandpa, Popi, the entire Christianville Metro Area had a minute of silence and said “God Bless Sophie and Popi!” after words. After that was The Presentation of Friends (New and Old) that I made this year; 2008’s New Friends included Kathy’s friend Sherry, and her sons Blaine and Drew Mitchell, and Michael’s girlfriend Meagan. Plus my friends Rachel Hogle, Karleen Frishman, Steven Vandeneykel and more…
After they played The National Anthem, The Festival kicked off with The City of Christianville Band and introduction of the US, Tennessee, and The City of Christianville flags. After that, was The Parade of Michael Centeno. And, of course, his girlfriend Meagan was with him and they had a couple extra floats for her. A lot of the people there enjoyed the extra floats for Meagan. In fact, Bryan of “the famous festival couple Bryan and Holly” who met at the 2nd annual festival said “Meagan looks like a very nice girl”. Tomorrow, November 17 will be Brooke Day, held in Downtown Brooke (which is North of Christianville). Brooke Day is in honor of my long-time friend Brooke Herrick. The event on Brooke Day is a fair called The Christian Smith and Brooke H. Fair. On November 18 is Meredith Day, which is in honor of our long-time friend Meredith Herrick. On Meredith Day there is a fair like the one held in Brooke but, today it’s held in Downtown Christianville on Friends St. On November 19 is Whitney Day, which in honor of our long-time friend Whitney Herrick. For the event for the day, they close all the streets of Downtown Christianville and let everyone explore them. Whitney Day is so fun that the magazine for area teens, “The Christianville Teen” voted it the most fun thing for them to do at the Best Friends’ Festival. The reason why, they say, is because they don’t have to drive up and down the streets with the traffic to see their favorite places of Downtown Christianville. Finally, on November 20 is Steven Day which honors Christian’s Best Friend Steven Vandeneykel. On Steven Day, they have a “Tigger Parade” for him because Steven loves Tigger. After the parade is over the festival ends with the rest of the day being a made-up holiday for Steven. All in all, Christians’ Best Friends Festival is a fun Festival for people of all ages.
Thanks for reading The Christianville Spirit. Believe anything can happen and it will.

Hi Christian,
My name is Dee and I am a nursing student at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in NJ. I have prepared a presentation on Potocki-Lupski syndrome and I am presenting it to my clinical group tomorrow. I happended to come across your blog while doing some research and I find your writings eloquent and inspiring. You are not only a role model from parents and children facing PTLS, but for the entire health care community as well, including students. Thank you for giving me a glimpse into the mind of a special needs adult. Your pretty incredible.
Sincerely,
Dolores Maya
