An Enchanting SUMMER Start
by Camy Reynolds
Each year, Sonterra kicks off summer by opening the community pool over Memorial Day weekend. Families are always excited to swim and soak up the sun, but this year they received an extra special surprise. Christen Killebrew, a resident of Sonterra, made a whimsical splash at the opening when she arrived as a mermaid.

Certified as a mermaid in January, Christen thought this would not only be a great way to meet more people in town, but also share the magic and happiness she feels when she transforms into a friendly siren. The look on the children’s (and some of the adults’) faces was priceless when they realized there was a mermaid swimming in the pool. Christen spent the day swimming with the kids, had story time in her seashell chair, and made opening day at the pool a one-of-a-kind experience.
