Holiday Special 2017

‘Twas the night before Christmas
as you read by the fire,
the latest news and gossip
from Team Fergmeijer.

Brad and Deb were asleep
tucked up in their bed,
with visions of retirement
dancing in their heads.

Mike in his kerchief
and Aus in his cap,
had just settled down
for a long winter’s nap.

As is usual, this year,
Billings was a happenin’ spot.
So much was going on,
we filled the new parking lot!

This year saw more concerts
with music aplenty.
Entertaining for all those
turning nine-and-twenty!

The Gobble Brigade managed
to double its flock,
causing locals and tourists
to both stop and gawk.

The folks at 4elements
installed lots of new art.
Enhancing our community?
They’ve done their part.

When the moon crossed the sun,
we released our inner nerd.
Hopefully you didn’t look directly up,
or eye damage may have occurred.

We learned more about Pearson
and if we aren’t quite mistaken,
had more sightings than usual
of the one and only Steve Paikin.

In between fangirling
over the aforementioned person,
this year we reported
the most euchre results, for certain!

We celebrated all year
with Winter- and Summerfest,
proving once again
that Kagawong is the best

There were dances and parties
where everyone shakes legs,
spooky Hallowe’en costumes
and hunts for Easter eggs.

Kagawongians got active
in numbers truly outrageous.
with Zumba, Tai Chi, and Karate,
Keeping us slightly less spacious.

So once again we reflect
on a mighty good year!
May your holidays and 2018

be filled with good cheer!
