Does shivering count as exercise? Cause that seems to be the only work out Team Fergmeijer has been doing lately. Maybe we need to join the Kagawong Fitness Club or start going to Zumba on Thursday nights. Both are guaranteed to warm us up (and wear us out).

A few weeks of working out will make us guilt-free when we head out for the wine and cheese evening on Friday, February 19th. Fine wine, fancy cheeses, fantastic music; what’s not to like? Of course, if ‘inside’ just isn’t your thing, Kagawong’s Winterfest is that same weekend. On February 20th the Recreation Committee will be hosting any number of fabulous activities, workshops, and booths highlighting the wonders of winter. Try some homemade maple syrup taffy, or Kagawong tails. Play on the sledding hill, or chat with classic snowmachine collectors. For more information on both events, check out the Kagawong Facebook page or email us.

You know who else loves snowy weather? Your canine buddies! Why not bring them out to the dog park to be a part of the shenanigans? But we should warn you, with all this snow, Simba has become the ninja of the dog park, unseen in plain sight until right at your feet asking for a treat. Regardless, the Kagawong Canine Society continues to gather every Sunday at 1pm at the off-leash park on Carter Crescent next to the municipal garage.

The next library movie will be on January 23rd. They will be showing the movie The 33. (Yes, we know that we got it wrong it last week’s column. Totally not Team Fergmeijer’s fault. The librarian gave us faulty info. Guh. Some people.)

Euchre tournaments run every third Wednesday of the month now through March, at the Park Centre, beginning at 7:30pm - BYOP (bring your own partner)! Having fun is in the cards. Rumour has it there will be a tournament on Kagawong’s Winterfest weekend. Stay tuned for more details.

We’ve been finding ourselves a bit pressed for time lately, so Team Fergmeijer ended up typing most of the column on our phones while walking to and from work. We apologize for any mistakes we make, they are simply early signs of typothermia.
