Holiday Special 2016

‘Twas the night before New Year’s
All through Kagawong town,
Team Fergmeijer was penning,
Choosing the right verb and noun.

In true retrospection
It’s been a right busy year.
What better way to celebrate
Than to review 2016 here!

In 2016 Billings was a hoppin’ place,
With happenings and events galore:
Summerfest, Winterfest,
Christmas in Kagawong and more.

A local singer & songwriter
Composed a new Kagawong ditty
Called: Welcome to our Village;
“Yo! The tune is so pretty!”

The turkeys kept flourishing
Whether you want them to or not;
And the town finally got started on
That new parking lot.

There’s one landmark event
We just can’t fail to mention
Mayor Aus celebrated 90,
A truly stupendous occasion.

Down in the village
Business was booming!
The addition of new shoppes
Greatly encouraged consuming.

The cafe pulled up stakes
And moved up the hill.
They hosted the Great Lakes Swimmers;
Such a musical thrill!

Big city street lights
Have made our traffic slow down,
But bring great improvements
To our quaint little town.

There were so many community suppers
That Team Fergmeijer lost track.
The great food and lovely company
Kept us all coming back.

Our friends at 4elements
Have installed lots of art -
With so much to look at,
It really sets Kagawong apart.

We think it’s fair to say
That this past year was great!
As for new year resolutions,
It’s never too late.

So let’s make this this year
Even better than the last
Because new year’s 2018
Will be here super fast.

Team Fergmeijer sends along
Best wishes to you and yours
Now if only we could get
Those elusive Euchre scores...
