It’s been a lovely spring this winter, but it looks like Mother Nature has sorted out her issues and is back on track with our regularly scheduled freezing temperatures and snow.

If you are pretty much over winter, there’s lots to look forward to when the snow melts. Billings will be launching a new community event this spring with the Fibre Arts Festival in May. We’ll keep you updated as we get closer to the date, but one thing is for sure: Team Fergmeijer is hoping it will become a REGULAR fixture in the township.

Last week’s euchre scores were: ladies high - Susan; men's high - Lil; ladies’ most loners - Laurene; men’s most loners - Dave; low score - Ria; door prize - Lil. Come out to the Park Centre on Wednesday nights to join the fun and competition!

This week, the Extreme Euchre Champion of Kagawong (EECK) was awarded to… Jamie W! Congratulations, Jamie! Jamie had this to say during his acceptance speech: “I wasn’t even there that night, yo.”

Next library movie night will be tomorrow (Saturday, March 4) with Collateral Beauty starring Will Smith. Show starts at 7pm; check out the Facebook page for more information and trailers.

As sure as the sun rises, the township is set to celebrate Earth Day again this year! Come and celebrate our planet on Saturday, April 22 for Earth Day 2017, brought to you by the Billings Township Go Green Advisory Committee and the Recreation Committee. Stay tuned for more information!

Where can you find fish, finger painting, and FUN? The River School is back! Join the folks at 4e for a special one day program over the March Break featuring river science, artmaking, and great activities! Contact Mira at 282-0444 for more information.

This just in… a mistake has been made, and we received the wrong envelope. Jamie, unfortunately, did NOT win the EECK. Instead, the EECK goes to... Craig J. Congratulations! While wiping away a tear, Craig had this to say: “What an honour to win this award! I feel like I just won an Oscar!”

Happy birthday to Sandi H who turned 29 this week. This feels a bit like deja vu; like we’ve wished her a happy 29th before. Nah. I’m sure this is her first 29th birthday.

Tai Chi has started up again on Tuesday nights at 6:30pm at the Park Centre. Beginners welcome! Zumba continues to shake it up Thursdays from 7-8pm, also at the Park Centre.

It’s been a lean month for Team Fergmeijer and we’ve had to go looking for extra work. We finally took a job at a bakery, because frankly, we kneaded the dough.
