Happy Thanksgiving! Has anyone seen the Kagawong Gobble Brigade around? They seem to have gone into hiding all this week...
Locals Mary Buie and Heather Theijsmeijer completed the CIBC Run for the Cure in Sudbury last Sunday, raising a combined total of $1990 toward breast cancer research, support and outreach. Thank you to everyone who sponsored them! Donations can still be made by going to http://supportcbcf.com, clicking on “Donate,” and then searching for one of their names.
Kagawong played host to not one, but two concerts last weekend, as part of the 4elements Elemental Festival. The Kagawong Folk Roots Collective played to a near-capacity crowd at St. John’s Anglican church Friday night, rockin’ the pews with old-timey, gospel tunes. Saturday night saw Sudbury’s Pistol George Warren take the stage at the Park Centre. Roving reporter Jamie Ward was on the scene: “They were amazing! Really great band, lots of energy, yo.”
The Elemental Festival also included sound walks (for both young and old alike), postcard exchanges, and an art exhibition. New art installations along the river were revealed over the weekend as well. A huge thank you to all the folks at 4e, volunteers and those who came out for the fun.
The township and recreation committee have installed the new (decommissioned) fire hydrants at the dog park. There have been several trees donated by local Roger Lloyd and by MPP Mike Mantha. They will be wintered over and planted in the spring. Come out with Fido on Sunday at 1pm to check out the new additions!
The museum is 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.
The Billings Recreation Committee will be decorating in front of the Old Mill this year and could use some donations to make it as spectacular as possible. If you have small hay bales, mums, pumpkins or gourds to spare, let a member of the committee know, email us, or send a message through facebook.com/kagawong1.
You may have noticed something missing from this column lately… but now 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 librarian is unusually indecisive this month and is leaving the choice of movie title up to you. Check out www.facebook.com/kagawonglibrary to vote for your choice.
If you ask me, it’s never too early to be thinking about Christmas, so mark November 21st on your calendar so that you don’t miss out on Christmas in Kagawong!
Despite the recent cold, it’s a wonderful time of year to get outside. I always start running in the fall. Not all of me, just my nose. Have a great week!
