Team Fergmeijer has been seeing Betty and Noella out walking nearly every day, taking in this lovely fall weather. They’re out even when the weather isn’t so lovely! Those two walk so much we’re starting to feel a bit inferior, so we plan on getting a dog and calling him “5 miles” just so we can say we walk 5 miles every day.

Kagawong’s annual BYOP pumpkin carving party was a great success again this year, with carvers of all ages creating a fabulous collection of spooky and silly jack-o-lanterns. The gourd bowling was fun, the cookies at the decorating station were delicious, and the pinata was a blast with Z celebrating his birthday with a smashing hit releasing the goodies held inside! Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks to the Recreation Committee who put on the event.

Saturday was a busy night in town with all sorts of gruesome, gory, silly and cute characters running around in the rain. One standout for us was the Wards who made a convincing Gru with his minions, complete with fart gun.

The museum has a fantastic military exhibit on now through November 11th. Don’t miss it! Check the website www.kagawongmuseum.ca for more information on the exhibit and Remebrance Day services.

Don’t forget about Sundays with the Kagawong Canine Society. Socialize with your favourite pups and people every Sunday at 1pm.

The Kagawong Fitness Centre (at 91 Main Street below 4e Living Arts) is back open for business after closing for a few days to dry out after a bit of water seeping in on Thursday night. The floor is dry and everything is back to normal. For more information on the fitness centre or to start your membership, contact Sharon Jackson.

Come out on Wednesday nights for Euchre at the Park Centre. Contact Sharon Alkenbrack or other members of the EDC for more info on joining the regular weekly games at the Park Centre.

The Billings Library’s next movie night will be Saturday, November 7th (tomorrow). They’ll be showing Mission Impossible: Rogue Agent (PG-13). Show starts at 7pm.

Did somebody say MEAT PIE?? There’s a MEAT PIE dinner on the Friday, November 20th, followed by Christmas in Kagawong on Saturday, November 21st! 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 on the Saturday to participate in this free swap!

Rumour has is the Kagawong Christmas Concert will be back in December! Stay tuned for more details - you won’t want to miss it!

Big thanks for all the compliments we have been getting on the column. We really appreciate the good thoughts, especially since we suffer from a bit of an inferiority complex (though it’s not a very good one).
