How are you liking this weather? We don’t want to complain about the heat too much, but yesterday, as Team Fergmeijer sat in the livingroom watching the olympics, two hobbits showed up and asked where they should throw the ring. Oh, August: the time when we find out if our cats like us for more than just body heat.
This year’s History Day is now in the past, but it was one for the history books. Knowledgeable presenters wowed the crowd and shed light on some significant moments in Canadian history as well as our local history. If you enjoyed this History Day, make sure to visit the Heritage Centre in the Old Mill to check out their always impressive exhibits. While you’re there, leave a donation to help them continue to highlight and preserve the unique history of Billings.
With heat warnings and brown grass as far as the eye can see, it’s no surprise that the township has issued a burn ban again. Please refrain from any sort of fire as the dry conditions are extremely dangerous and even a small fire can easily get out of control. Contact the town office for more information.
Heat wave gettin’ you down? Hit the water for Kagawong’s Fun on the Water day on Saturday. Get out on whatever you’ve got that you can propel across the water and enjoy the beauty that is Mudge Bay! Join the Poker Run any time between 1pm and 5pm - it’s not a race, so start whenever you like (entrance fee of $5 can be paid at the Austin Hunt Marina). At 6pm head for the marina for a potluck dinner and live music by Mimi O’Bonsawin at 7:30pm.
This Saturday is the one day a year when asking someone if they have junk in their trunk will not get you a smack. That’s because Billings (courtesy of the EDC) is holding a huge community yard sale in and around the market pavilion between 9am and 1pm. Contact: zazoom5575@gmail.com for more information.
Did you know that August is referred to as the dog days of summer? Better bring poochie out to the dog park to join the Kagawong Canine Social Club, Sundays at 1pm, to celebrate! And mark September 10th on the calendar; it’s the 5th birthday of the dog park and the Social Club is celebrating with Bark in the Park.
The Billings Library is hosting the next movie night on Saturday, August 20th. Come out and bring your kids for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Admission is by donation; show starts at 7pm on the big screen. Check out http://www.facebook.com/kaglibrary for more details.
Thank you to everyone who weighed in on whether the chicken or the egg would arrive first in the mail. We have to admit, we made that story up. We’re just a couple of comedi-hens! On that note, we’ll leave you with some words of wisdom: a boiled egg is hard to beat. Have a great week!
