Good news Kagawongians! Due to your outcry and an impromptu letter-writing campaign, the town council has reversed its decision to turn off Bridal Veil Falls. Team Fergmeijer was quite relieved to hear this bit of news after reading about that FOOLISH idea on APRIL FIRST.

Zumba is back! Meet up with other fitness-minded folk every Thursday at 7pm and rock out at the Park Centre. For those looking for a more mindful activity, there are Tai Chi lessons every Tuesday at 6:30pm at the Park Centre, too. Beginners welcome.

Happy birthday to Andy Culgin who turned 29 last week and celebrated in style. Sadly, we can’t tell you the specifics because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Despite the weird weather, spring is on our doorstep. Get in the spirit with the Billings Green Living Expo on April 22nd & 23rd. Kick off the weekend on the Friday with a “Mac ‘n’ Brew” evening featuring Split Rail Brewing Company, live music by Paul Best, and special guest speaker Brian Bell. Get your tickets to this licensed, age of majority event today by calling 705-282-8044 or 705-282-6252. Tickets are $20 each and space is limited.

Come out to the library this Saturday at 7pm to watch Norm of the North on the big screen. Check out the library’s Facebook page to find out more about this week’s movie, as well as upcoming films (facebook.com/kagawonglibrary).

Euchre is running each Wednesday night at 7pm at the Park Centre and everyone is welcome to come out for a hand. Last week’s results are: high ladies - Sheila Fogal; high men - Blaine Nelder; lone hands men - Graham Fogal; Deanna Benoit; lone hand ladies - Kal Merrylees; low - Lily Third, Mike Arbour. At the time of printing, Team Fergmeijer had not heard back from the organizers about our suggestion of a new category: Extreme Euchre Champion of Kagawong (EECK).

A fiasco occurred last week when the instructor of the mime class was forced to cancel at the last minute and had to call all attendees. Turns out, mimes aren’t great with answering machines. Purportedly, when the instructor called around to let participants know, only a blank message was left. Instead of trying to get out of an invisible box, the participants spent an hour silently trying to get IN to the locked Park Centre.
