June 24, 2016

The Kagawong Folk/Roots Collective had a great turnout for their performance in Mindemoya last weekend, and are looking to repeat tomorrow night (June 25) in Gore Bay! The music starts at 7:30pm at the Lyons Memorial United Church. Tickets are $10 at the door, and light snacks and beverages will be provided. Come out and join the fun!

Registration is open for River School - a partnership between 4elements Living Arts and Manitoulin Streams to deliver a series of summer programs for kids and adults along the Kagawong River. Come prepared to get your feet wet and your hands dirty! For more information, or to register, phone 705-282-0444 or email patricia@4elementslivingarts.org.

July is just around the corner! The Anglican Church yard sale, BBQ & bake sale on Saturday, July 2nd will run from 10am to 3pm at the Kagawong Farmer’s Market. Bring yer appetite! On that same day the Recreation Committee will be holding a car wash from 10am to 2pm at the Fire Hall. Later that week, on the 6th, the Billings Library is holding their annual Book & Bake Sale at the Park Centre. Speaking of the Library, did you hear the news about our librarian? She was reading while she was sunbathing and lost track of time. Now she’s very well red.

A belated congratulations goes out to Rick and Barb Edwards as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of Edwards Studios. Friends, family and fans joined the Edwards for an evening of fun and frolic in the gallery on the upper level of the Old Mill. Be sure to stop in and wish them another 20 years of success.

It must be summer! Rumour has it the Kagawong Farmer’s Market is set to open on Wednesday. Shopping fan and farming aficionado Jamie Ward says “Check out the fabulous garden goods and handmade crafts, yo.”

Life moves too quickly. All the more reason to make sure you slow down when driving by Bridal Veil Falls. Not only because of the scenery, but also because there’s a higher amount of traffic due to summer visitors. With construction starting on the causeway, there will be even more pedestrians walking about.

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 tournament results: 1st place - Fred & Jim, 2nd place - Bev & Sally, 3rd place Lela & Bob, 4th place - Sheila & Graham, Loners Lela & Bob, Low Bea & Lily.

Wow - look at all the stuff going on in Prov this week! I hope they left enough room for everyone else. It would be an awful shame if the editors had to cut some of the other columns short in order to ma
