It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… well, not around Billings so much, but we’re sure snow is just around the corner. Team Fergmeijer has been working hard to get into the Christmas spirit this week, but it took forever to get the darn bottle open.
Mark the calendar - the Island Schools Christmas Concert is Thursday, December 7 at 7pm at Manitoulin Secondary School. Come and hear students from the high school, as well as from six island elementary schools, perform music for the season. Entry is by donation at the door.
One of the cornerstone holiday events for the township is the Billings Community Christmas Concert. This year it is on Saturday, December 9, starting at 7pm. We need more performers to round out the night. Want to tell some jokes (you can’t be as bad as Mike), or maybe recite a poem or monologue? Whatever gets you in the mood, let us know at Kagawong@live.ca or reach out to us at www.Facebook.com/Kagawong1.
And if that’s not enough to get the Christmas earworms going, the Island Singers & Friends will be performing “We Shall Light a Thousand Candles” on December 10th in Little Current and in Mindemoya on December 11th. Island Singers are always an excellent way to get into the (non-alcoholic) Christmas spirit.
The folks at the Esso thought the Kagawong Community Christmas concert could use a little shaking up this year. They were thinking a tropical theme would be awesome, and have started to dig out the hole for the hot tub. It’s still scheduled for the Park Centre at the moment, but we will let you know if Deb gets the grotto finished in time for the show to change venues. Former Esso employee and hot tub enthusiast Jamie Ward was overheard to say, “Everyone into the pool, yo!”
A very happy birthday goes out to Chantelle W. who turns 29 on Sunday. Technically, she doesn’t live in Billings, but it’s close enough. Plus, we hear she’s good with sharp implements and we didn’t want to tick her off.
It turns out it’s not just Team Fergmeijer that are huge fans of local summer celebrity Steve Paikin. Seems there is a whole underground fan club, at least there is according to anonymous commentator Willa Wilson.
A reminder that the Kagawong Mall has switched to winter hours. Saturday and Sunday stay the same (10am-6pm and 1pm-6pm respectively), but the opening hours for Tuesdays and Thursdays have switched and are now 2:30pm - 6:30pm in order to take advantage of as much daylight as possible.
