[Will there ever be a time where Sakura doesn't have a smile on her face whenever she makes a post to the network? Probably not.]
Hello, everyone! I know this is a bit of a short notice, but Tanabata is coming up soon! For those of you who don't know what it is, Tanabata is a Japanese festival, celebrating an old legend of star-crossed lovers.
[Growing up, she always liked this story...] In the legend, a princess named Orihime fell in love with a man named Hikoboshi. The two were so deeply in love that they abandoned their duties - Orihime wove clothes, and Hikoboshi herded cattle - and so Orihime's father, the king of the heavens, punished them, forcing them to live on opposite sides of a great river and forbidding them to meet again.
But he wasn't a heartless man; when he saw just how upset his daughter had become, he agreed to a deal. If Orihime worked hard, he would allow the two to reunite on the Seventh Day of the Seventh month. And so, on July 7th, we celebrate the reunion of Hikoboshi and Orihime. The festivals that are organized for this day are quite popular, and... well. I know some people might not want to miss it.
So this Saturday, should anyone wish to attend, the Breeding Centres in both Goldenrod and Celadon City will be setting up small festivals, should anyone want to celebrate! It won't exactly be a traditional Tanabata celebration, but there will be good food and fireworks, so that's something, right? It's nice to have small reminders of home, every once in a while.
[She looks a little nervous, after she finishes. She's never helped anyone plan something this big before.] Um, if anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

Is that the kind of thing most human parents do?

No, most parents wouldn't do that. But the story took place a very long time ago. Things were different back then... so perhaps it wasn't so strange in those times.
