Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We thought we’d kick off this week’s column with an Irish blessing: “May those who love us, love us, and those that do not love us, may God turn their hearts. If He can’t turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles so we’ll know them by their limping.”
The return of spring marks the return of the annual Team O’Fergmeijer Sandhill Crane Challenge! Who will be the first to spot (or hear!) the soft, melodic coo of the Sandhill Crane?? Email us at kagawong@live.ca to report your sighting.
Next library movie night will be tomorrow (March 18th) when the library will be showing the Oscar-nominated movie, Lion. Show starts at 7pm; check out the Facebook page for more information and trailers.
If movies aren’t your thing, maybe board games are. The library will be launching their new board game collection next week, along with a board game club starting in April! Games for all ages and skill levels can be played in the library or checked out a week at a time to enjoy at home. Rumour has it the librarian, Jill O’Ferguson, is quite the gamer and can offer suggestions for the best board game for you and your family.
Take note! Hydr O’One has planned power outage planned for April 2nd - 7:30am-11:30am.
Join the Billings Recreation Committee as they host Marcel O’Beneteau and Sabine O’Huege on March 24th on an armchair voyage to Australia! Discover the landscapes, ocean views and wildlife of Australia and Tasmania without spending 24 hours on a plane. The evening includes a fascinating slideshow presentation and a ‘dessert social.’ The event starts at 7pm at the Park Centre; admission is by cash or non-perishable food donation (all donations go to the local food bank).
There was a full house in attendance at the most recent music night at Main Street Cafe, as hosts Jean and Jamie O’Ward welcomed Jennifer O’Holub and Matt O’Marranger. Rumour has it more musical acts are being lined up - we will pass on the details as soon as we receive them!
Speaking of music, Mimi O’O’Bonsawin is returning to Kagawong as she launches her new album “Connected.” Get your tickets for the April 1st show at the Park Centre from Pat O’Hess.
Happy birthday to Sharon O’Jackson who is turning 29 next week. We don’t think she looks a day over 28 - must be those good Irish genes.
It really does feel like summer is just around the corner, so it might be time to start thinking about sprucing up your deck. Maybe dig out some paddy o’furniture, or brighten things up with a string of paddy o’lanterns.
