December 9, 2016

The snow has finally arrived and the town looks so festive with the dusting of the white stuff. Though Team Fergmeijer already misses friction. Remember when that was a thing?

Tomorrow is the community Christmas concert! Bring your whole family out to the Park Centre for 7pm. Admission is by donation with all proceeds going to Manitoulin Family Resources. Don’t miss this annual tradition; rumour has it Santa has RSVP’d!

The west end lost a special soul last week with the passing of Marion Turner. She touched many members of our community, including half of Team Fergmeijer who was lucky enough to have her as a teacher in grade one. Our deepest condolences go out to her family and friends.

John Buie has been keeping busy flirting with nurses off-island this past week. We wish him all the best as Mary drags him home to complete his recovery.

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!

Students from across Manitoulin performed in the annual Christmas concert at MSS on Tuesday night. We have such dedicated and talented young people. Well done to all the performers!

Another reminder that the hours at the Kagawong Mall have changed for the winter. 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.

The happiest of happy birthday wishes goes out to loyal reader Laurie who turned 29 last weekend. We’ve had some people question our fact-checking on birthdays since so many people seem to be turning 29. Our stance is people shouldn’t get too worked up about it all. After all, age is just a number. Well, technically, age is a word, but you get the point.
