April 13, 2018

Happy Friday the 13th! Feeling a little spooked? Not us… Team Fergmeijer doesn’t really care that it’s Friday the 13th. We’re just happy it’s finally Friday! Plus, it’s unlucky to believe in superstitions. April 13th is also Blame Someone Else Day so whatever you think we did, it’s totally not our fault.


Need to get from point A to point B? Why not hop the new Manitoulin bus route? Circumnavigate the Island in comfort and get stuff done at the same time! We feel like the bus needs a nickname, so we throw it out to you, our loyal readers. Any ideas?


Next week - Mac ‘n’ Brew is back! As a kick off to the Green Living Expo, join the Billings Go Green Committee and the Recreation Committee on Friday, April 20 at the Park Centre. Doors open at 5:30pm, with supper served at 6:15pm. $25 gets you a homemade mac ‘n’ cheese supper, a beer or a glass of wine, and a talk by a guest speaker.


The Green Living Expo continues at the Park Centre, Saturday, April 21! At noon, check out a Show & Shine of a variety of electric and hybrid vehicles. From 1pm - 3pm, there will be a variety of booths and speakers on various Green topics. Lunch and snacks available - we hope to see you there!


The Billings landfill has reverted back to their regular hours for the summer. Stop by to chat with Dennis and deliver your trash (or pick up some treasures at the Kagawong Mall) Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4pm - 8pm, Saturdays from 10am - 6pm, or Sundays from 1pm - 6pm.


The Manitoulin Community Choir presents their spring concert on Saturday, April 28 at 7:30pm at the Kagawong Park Centre. Admission is $10, or $20 per family. Don’t miss it!


There’s a literally literary brand new business opening in Kagawong this spring! Keep an eye on the space beside Bridal Veil Variety this May!


Even though the ground is still snow-covered, we can all start planning our summer gardens! At this point, we're thinking chilly peppers, iceberg lettuce, brrrrrrroccoli, winter squash, kholdrabi, rhuburrrb, and parsnippy. We’re feeling hungry already! Have a great weekend!
