It’s officially summer here on the Island. To be fair, it’s been pretty summer-like for awhile now. Team Fergmeijer has started keeping a spare set of oven mitts in our glove compartment for those days the steering wheel feels like it could take on a pot roast.
Kick off the first Saturday of the summer with a movie night! Tomorrow night, the Billings Library will be showing Power Rangers at 7pm. Admission is free, as usual. Check out the library Facebook page for upcoming show dates, titles and trailers. And don’t forget that the library is also offering a variety of board games for all ages, available for playing in the library or checking out for a week of fun at home.
The Economic Development Committee is hosting the Kagawong Holistic Health Fair at the Park Centre on June 24th, complete with information on holistic health and wellness, a water ceremony, medicine walk, drumming, group meditation, talks, displays and vendors. Check out their Facebook page by searching “Kagawong Holistic Health Fair.”
On July 1st, visit the Recreation Committee at the fire hall to give your car a bit of TLC. A donation gets your car hand-washed by an enthusiastic crew of committee members. After sprucing up the car, why not head down to the covered market for the Anglican church’s annual yard sale, bake sale and bbq!
Team Fergmeijer likes nothing better than settling in with a new book along with some delicious baking.
Be sure to join us at the Billings Library Book Fair & Bake Sale at the Park Centre July 5th, from 11am - 2pm! Lunch will also be available to purchase. Donations of books can be brought to the library between now and then, while baking donations can be dropped off at the Park Centre the morning of the 5th.
Speaking of books, Team Ferguson read a scary classic last weekend. It scared the Dickens out of us. Was that joke too specific? All well, it fills a very Nietzche market. However, of all our books, our favorite is the one we received last Christmas. There is no tome like the present.
The Old Mill Heritage Centre is excited to announce their upcoming Historic Speakers Series. Steve Paikin will be at the Kagawong Park Centre at 7:30 pm on July 12th, and later in the summer, award winning journalist and bestselling author Andrew Cohen will visit, as well as Patricia Pearson, granddaughter of former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. Admission is free, but seating is limited. For more information, contact the Old Mill Heritage Centre at 705-282-1442 or email oldmillheritage@billingstwp.ca

Our words of wisdom this week: Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
