October 16, 2015

Inspired by the recent 4elements soundscape activities, Team Fergmeijer came up with an idea for an excellent addition to the Kagawong River Trail. Unfortunately, the township turned down our proposal to have the Lion King’s “Circle of Life” playing on repeat at the base of the falls for the fish. Even without this though, the trails were hopping all weekend with visitors admiring the new art installations, cheering on the jumping salmon, and taking in the beautiful weather.

The Kagawong scarecrows are back! As you take in the beautiful fall colours, keep an eye open for these creepy visitors all over town. Thank you to everyone who loaned the Recreation Committee festive autumn decorations. The township looks fantastic! Between the scarecrows and the salmon, we must have at least doubled the population of Billings last week.

The museum is still looking for artifacts and photographs to augment their Harbour Island exhibit. If you have some you would be willing to loan or know of any leads, contact the museum at 705-282-1442.

Happy 29th birthdays go to Brian R. on Monday, Claire last Wednesday and Jef today. Thank you to Margaret and Frank who brought the warm weather up with them from the Niagara Region last weekend. And belated congratulations go out to Tahnee Pate (aka Tahnee Park) on her recent marriage.

Don’t forget about Sundays with the Kagawong Canine Society. Come out to the dog park with Fido on Sunday at 1pm.

It’s Euchre time! Euchre is back in Kagawong every Wednesday at the Park Centre! Contact Sharon Alkenbrack or other members of the EDC for more info on joining the regular weekly games or taking part in the monthly tournaments.

The Library is showing movies every second Saturday through the fall and winter. The votes are in, and the movie you chose to watch on Saturday is Fantastic Four! Show starts at 7pm.

Only 10 Fridays before Christmas! Mark November 21st on your calendar so that you don’t miss out on Christmas in Kagawong, and get a head start on your shopping. There’s a MEAT PIE dinner on the Friday night, and you do not want to miss out on that!

Also running that weekend is the library’s second Seed Swap. Bring your extra seeds, or those you have harvested and saved this fall, to trade with other gardeners and green thumbs in the area. Come by the library between 1 and 2pm to participate in this free swap!

The autumn colours are pretty spectacular this year, so go out and enjoy them while you can. I personally find fall leaves to be the most beautiful when they are being raked by somebody else.
