Team Fergmeijer has decided that our favourite part of winter might be sitting inside watching it from in front of a roaring fire.

Winterfest was a wonderful success last weekend. Kids of all ages enjoyed the sledding hill, had the chance to experience dog sledding, and topped the day off with maple syrup taffy. Thank you to the organizers and volunteers for putting on this fun, annual event. And a special shout-out to Mother Nature for dumping buckets of snow on us just in time!

Calling all Potter-heads! The library is showing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tomorrow night at 7pm. Check out the Facebook page for more information and trailers.

Main Street Cafe has done it again! They are hosting the amazing musician, Jennifer Holub along with special guests Gravy, and Matt Maranger. The show is on March 4th; get your tickets now as they always sell out quickly.

River School is back! Join the folks at 4e for a special one day program over the March Break featuring river science, artmaking, and fun! Contact Mira at 282-0444 for more information.

So many birthdays, and this week they span the globe. Happy birthday to Chase C. in Calgary who turned 5 this week, along with his uncle Neil L. in Callander who turned not 5, both on Valentine’s Day! Turning 29 this week are Ben G. in Taiwan and Chris T. in Ottawa. Happy birthday, boys!

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Joyce McShane. She was a special member of the community and her absence will be deeply felt by everyone who knew her.
