November 10, 2017

We hope that everyone remembered to set their clocks back last weekend, to return to Standard Time. Team Fergmeijer is still celebrating the fact that after six months, our car clocks are finally correct again.

The Old Mill Heritage Centre will be open for one day only this fall. Tomorrow the museum will be open following the 11am Remembrance Day service at the Park Centre. Visit the new military exhibit from noon until 4pm.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Jody M who is tackling her 29th year like a champ!

Starting to get into the Christmas spirit? Kagawong Christmas Craft Fair will be November 17-19 at the Kagawong Park Centre. With vendors upstairs at the Park Centre, Friends of the Library silent auction downstairs, and baking, crafts, cake and carols at St. John’s church, you could spend all day there!

It’s time again for Manitoulin Community Choir’s annual Song and Cider concert! This is always a phenomenal concert of good cheer and great music. On November 25th, be sure to get to the Park Centre early for a good seat!  Show starts at 7:30pm.

And don’t forget the annual Kagawong community Christmas Concert on Saturday, December 9. You won’t want to miss all the amazing singers, comedien(ne)s, and musicians who come out to perform. If you are interested in being part of the show, just drop us a line at Kagawong@live.ca or reach out to us at www.Facebook.com/Kagawong1

The library is planning some new computer classes in the coming months, and need your help to fine tune their offerings. There is an online survey (go to https://goo.gl/9cPrmV) as well as paper versions available at the library and post office.

Strange lights were reported on the bluffs over Maple Ridge on the weekend. Some speculate aliens, while others put it down to super-secret military drills. We think Mike just got a bit carried away with the lighter fluid while he was remembering remembering the fifth of Novembering.

Last week's Euchre results are in! Sheila Fogal took home the ladies’ high score, while men’s high was snapped up by Lil Boyd. Bev Pickard had ladies’ loner, and men’s went to Cam Ross. Doris Tustian took the low score prize, and Therese Ross went home with the door prize. If you are up for the competition, new players are always welcome!

On the heels of Hallowe’en, here’s some food for thought: when we go back to standard time and gain an hour of sleep, do vampires lose an hour of awake? Have a great week!
