The Christianville Spirit: Christian's Best Friends Festival 2008

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.

Interstate Highways, a major highway that you take to get from Point A to Point B. but, there’s a sad fact about traveling interstate highways and that is that many towns, culture, interesting people, and hidden secrets that only the locals know of are missed. You see, an exit off an interstate isn’t JUST an Exit Number on an interstate. It’s an exit to a town that has a lot of culture and interesting places that Interstate Travelers never see. Off interstates are where the good stuff is like an awesome burger restaurant and of course the cheapest gas. Many don’t know that the cheapest gas can actually be down the road from an interstate. Of course, also there are interesting people to meet in the town that do things that you have never seen before. So, the next time you drive an interstate and have extra time, find a good exit to a town, get off the interstate, and check it out because you’ll never know what you’ll find.

Thanks for reading The Christianville Spirit. There are towns along the interstate that are waiting are you!

***Starting This Sunday, November 16, 2008 will be the 4th annual Christian’s Best Friends Festival in Downtown Christianville on Friends St. The festival will last from the 16th to the 20th and I will be reporting on it on each day of the festival. ***

The Christianville Spirit: Traffic Jam! Whoo!!

They say that PTLS and Autism Kids like to line objects up together for some reason, that reason I don’t know why but, I can tell you what I thought it was because I did exactly that when I was a kid. So, here it goes; back when I was still going to San Antonio to see my dad at my grandma on-my-dad’s-sides house I had a loop car track with tons of micro cars. Every time I went over to her house I would play with the micro cars and I’d do that and call someone to look at it. When they looked I would stay “Look, Daddy I made a Traffic Jam. It’s a Traffic Jam” I did that because it made me think of Traffic Jam. Now, I did that even at My Mom’s House with the cars I had there. when I wanted to play with them I would grab the cars, put them in a line, and once they were in a “Traffic Jam” I’d make honking noise and people talking, telling the people to move it. The best way I can tell you about the noise would the sounds out of New York City or LA Drivers. To me, I didn’t think it was anything that a normal child, I just thought of it as a cool traffic jam. All in all, though making traffic jams was a lot of fun of me when I was a kid.

Thanks for the reading The Christianville Spirit. Now that we’ve elected the first African American President, Anything is Possible!!!
