	Spring Goddess Festival Date:8th At this festival, all of the village girls (Ann, Karen, Popuri, Mary and Elli) get dressed up in traditional costumes and do a dance. You can escort a girl to the festival if she likes you by talking to her the day before, but you can't really do that until the second year unless you woo her quickly.
	Spring Thanksgiving- Date:14th On this festival you can make cookies and give them to the girls as a sort of payback for the chocolates they gave you at Thanksgiving
	Horse Race- Date:18th This is like the same as HM64. Train your horse everyday by riding it(when it is adult) and brushing it everyday. You probably can't participate the first year since your horse won't be mature enough most likely!
