November 2: National Regret Eating Your Kids’ Hallowe’en Candy After They go to Bed Day

November 3: National Stock Up On Miniature Candy While It’s on Sale Day

Everyone in Kagawong was in the spirit of things during this spooky season. The Halloween dance put on by the Recreation committee was a monster mash of a success! Families of ghosts and ghouls swarmed the Park Centre to carve pumpkins, eat devilishly clever snacks, and cut a rug. Thank you to all the hard-working volunteers who made it all possible.

The Old Mill Heritage Centre has a new military exhibit at the museum for Remembrance Day. Be sure to check it out on November 11.

Congratulations to all the Kagawong Eco-Warriors! Check out the Billings Go Green Committee’s blog (https://goo.gl/SzH7BB) to see the names of everyone who rose to the reducing waste challenge last week. Thanks to everyone for making Billings a little more green!

Hallowe’en fun fact: Eating Smarties makes you smarter.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Gail L, who is turning 29 right now!

Starting to get into the Christmas spirit? Kagawong Christmas Craft Fair will be November 17-19 at the Kagawong Park Centre. Stay tuned for more details on activities and hours! 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. Rumour has it Superman will be back (with a bionic hip), as will Santa… but only if we’re good! 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.

Why was the horse wearing a suit of armour for Hallowe’en? She wanted to go as a knight mare.

Last week's Euchre results are in! Elva Lloyd was the ladies high score winner, Fred Pickard took men’s high score. Ladies loner was Sheila Fogel, while men’s loner winner was Susan Arbour. Low scorer was Lily Third, and Lil Boyd took home the door prize.

Hallowe’en fun fact: Carving just one pumpkin burns as many calories as are in 10 mini candy bars. At least, that’s why we decided to carve 8 pumpkins in one night. Have a great week!
