Chris Keeling

Hello, I'm Christopher Wayne Keeling - aged 51.  I'm married to Chris (McKirahan) Keeling.  We have three daughters: Jaimmie, 27 (married with 3 children), Cortnie, 22 (a student) and Whitney, 18 (just graduatued for Portage High School) and three grandchildren: Kaylah-8, Rita-4, and Michael-3.  I have been a member of the Festival Committee and co-chairperson along with my wife and now my daughter, Whitney, of the Corn Roast Booth.  Since Bob Kish retired at the end of the 2000 Summer Fest.  I am also a recent inductee of our Parish's Knights of Columbus and highly recommend both of these ministries to everyone who enjoys being with outher people helping people, and having a good time while you're helping and learning.  My wife and I also enjoy helping the fine ladies of Nativity Catering prepare for the Lenten Fish Fries, by helping them make pierogis.

I have been attending Nativity since August of 1984.  I am a vinyl welder by trade and work in Hyde Park, Illinois.  If you come to the Festival and look above the Corn Booth and the Raffle Booth, you'll see my handiwork -- I made the tarps.

In my spare time I enjoy working on cars and all types of mechanical things, fishing, hunting, relaxing in our pool, playing softball, watching the White Sox and the Colts, and (as my wife puts it) warming the couch (napping)!


If you see  Chris around, be sure to say Hi !  We hope you "Got To Know" him !!
