December 2, 2016

Team Fergmeijer had so many people ask us about our exercise regimen of doing diddly-squats, we wanted to be able to share the rest of our workout with you. Our top five exercises include: Jumping to conclusions, Flying off the handle, Carrying things too far, Dodging responsibilities, and Pushing our luck. Let us know how these work out for you!

If you are on Facebook and follow the Kagawong page (www.facebook.com/kagawong1), you will be seeing some memories of Christmas concerts past. Like the time MBB wore a dress and danced across the stage with his ‘sisters.’ The memories will continue to be posted periodically in the lead up to this year’s concert on Saturday, December 10th. The family-friendly event will start at 7pm; admission is by donations with all proceeds going to Manitoulin Family Resources. If you are interested in taking part on-stage, email Team Fergmeijer, make contact through Facebook, or call Mike at 282-8355. As always, talent is completely optional.

The next movie night is on Saturday, December 17th when the library will be showing Florence Foster Jenkins. Show starts at 7pm. Bring the family! Free admission as always. Check out the Facebook page for trailers!

Alles gute zum geburtstag to Nora who turned neunundzwanzig last week. Emma Morano isn’t from Kagawong, but she is an inspiration, having turned 29 eighty-eight times, and Team Fergmeijer thought she deserved a mention!

Have you heard about the new sculpture installations that will be going up throughout the township over the next year? The artists have been selected by community jury and will be here in town for a meet and greet on Thursday Dec. 8th. Pop into the Park Centre between 6:30pm and 8pm to chat with the artists, and to see short presentations on their work in general and their ideas for sculpture in Billings specifically. Contact 4elements for more information (www.facebook.com/4elementslivingart).

We are a bit late in notifying you about this next bit, but we were saving it for a slow news week. Turns out, slow news weeks don’t happen very often in Billings and it’s taken us awhile to get to this one. Without further ado, we would like to remind you that the Kagawong Mall has switched to winter hours. Saturday and Sunday stay the same (10am-6pm and 1pm-6pm respectively), but the opening hours for Tuesdays and Thursdays have switched and are now 2:30pm - 6:30pm in order to take advantage of as much daylight as possible.

Greg and Margaret Lloyd welcomed their first grandchild this week. Congratulations to them, new dad Gavin, and great-grandparents Helen and Clark. We aren’t sure about the specifics of whether the baby is a girl or a boy yet, but would like to point out that ‘Fergmeijer’ is a lovely, gender-neutral name that could work either way.
