Summerfest 2017 was another smashing success this year. We hope everyone is recovering well from the extremely busy (and fun!) weekend. Billings is lucky to have such a dedicated group of organizers and volunteers willing to put in the time and effort to make events like this available to residents and visitors alike.
As always, the Kagawong Canine Social Club meets Sunday at 1pm at the off-leash dog park on Carter Crescent. New members are welcome! Overheard at the dog park last week was a very loud, “NO!” directed at one rambunctious pup, followed by a much quieter, “We talked about this.”
Next up in the Old Mill Heritage Centre’s Historic Speaker Series is award-winning journalist and bestselling author Andrew Cohen, as well as Patricia Pearson, granddaughter of former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson (limited seats still available). For more information, contact the Old Mill Heritage Centre at 705-282-1442 or email oldmillheritage@billingstwp.ca
Rain or shine, check out the farmer’s market every Wednesday from 10am-3pm at the covered pavilion by the basketball court. Support local artists, farmers and craftspeople - get your home-grown veggies, homemade treats, and handcrafted gifts all in one place!
Tomorrow is another movie night at the library! This one is for the older kids: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (PG13). Admission is free, as usual. Check out the library Facebook page for upcoming show dates, titles and trailers.
Kagawongian in spirit, Jen C’s birthday is this weekend. As she’s living in Alberta now, there will probably be a stetson and some cowboy boots involved as she celebrates the big 2-9. Also celebrating is Madeline McColman. Many happy returns on her 29th birthday. An extra-special happy birthday goes out to honorary Kagawongian, Emma R. On Thursday, Emma will be turning 7. That’s right on 07/27/2017, she’s turning 7! That’s even better than turning 29.
Residents will notice an unusual tranquility settling over the land in the Lebar hill area. In what Team Fergmeijer is sure is an unrelated occurrence, MBB (Mary Buie’s Brother) has embarked on the annual week-long North Channel Race from Hilton Beach to Little Current. We hope he’s not doing it because of pier pressure, but regardless, best of luck to him! There really isn’t anything quite like sailing. It’s a fine art involving getting wet and getting places very slowly at great expense.
Much like this column is a good way to kill time, and brain cells, while staying in touch with what’s going on in Kagawong. Have a great week!
