August 19, 2016

If you like piña coladas, and getting caught in the rain, this was the week for you! We were relieved to get the much-needed rain, but keep in mind things are still pretty dry. Please refrain from any sort of fire as the conditions are extremely dangerous and even a small fire can easily get out of control. Contact the town office for more information.

Last Saturday was another busy day in Kagawong - as per usual for the summer! Despite the rainy weather, many people took part in the community yard sale and the Fun on the Water day activities. The concert by Mimi O’Bonsawin was moved indoors to the Park Centre, and an impressive crowd found its way in to enjoy the brilliant performance. Thanks to the EDC for organizing the yard sale, and Mike Coomes and North Wind Adventures for organizing the Fun on the Water events. Kagawong is a bright and vibrant community because of dedicated volunteers like these.

Happy birthday goes to Mike Z who celebrates his 29th on Wednesday! Hope the girls help you celebrate in style. Bonnie F is also celebrating the big 2-9 this week. There were more celebrations out on Maple Point last week as a whole lot of Theijsmeijers gathered to toast one branch of the family’s tenth islandversary. A good time was had by all, despite a few rather heated games of Slammo and Texas Horseshoes.

Kagawong’s dog park is still the only off-leash dog park on Manitoulin, and it will be celebrating it’s 5th official birthday this year at the annual Bark in the Park on Saturday, September 10th.

The Billings Library is hosting the next movie night tomorrow (Saturday, August 20th).  There has been a last-minute change in movie; the library will be showing The Nice Guys. TMNT has been delayed and will be shown on Sept. 3rd. Admission is by donation; show starts at 7pm on the big screen. Check out http://www.facebook.com/kaglibrary for more details.

Team Fergmeijer loves summer sun and heat, but we have been hoping for a bit more rain lately. In fact, we wouldn’t mind if it started to rain cats and dog, as long as it doesn’t rein deer.
