The 22nd annual Centreville Day 2014 was held on Saturday, Oct. 11 in Centreville's Historic District. Despite the early morning rain, the festivities went on as planned with a few glitches. The Zombie Slouch 5K Fun Run was cancelled due to a lack of participants and the Dog Parade only had three canines, but despite the late start, most everything else ran smoothly.
The day included an awards ceremony on the Main Stage that presented Centreville Day Citizens of the Year to Carolina Sosa and Fouad Qreitem, as well as Educator of the Year to Kathy Beatty, a teacher at Centreville High School. At the Mount Gilead House and Lawn, as well as Braddock and Mt. Gilead Roads and the Old Stone Church, visitors were treated to Hands-On History. There was also a Pet Costume Show, a Dramatic Reading of the History of Centreville, an American Legion Centreville Day Parade, with entertainment provided by Centreville Dance, Centreville Cheer, The Liabilities, Westfield High Improv Team, Harmony Road School, St. John's Choir and the Outlers Rock Band, and more.
