April 20, 2018

Gentle reader, romaine calm, but there are a number of food puns coming your way. Gouda luck keeping a straight face. We’re quite eggcited to think that we might inspire a chuckle or two… we are, after all, quite the pear of writers (and, in Kagawong at least, we’re kind of a big dill). As we like to say, when it comes to puns, go fig or go home!


This is it: The Green Living Expo weekend! Tonight’s Mac ‘n’ Brew kicks off this fabulous weekend. Doors open at 5:30pm and supper starts 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. There may still be a ticket or two left, so contact a recreation committee member right now!


The Green Living Expo continues at the Park Centre tomorrow with a Show & Shine of several different electric and hybrid vehicles at noon, followed by 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 trade your trash for treasures at the Kagawong Mall - Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4pm - 8pm, Saturdays from 10am - 6pm, or Sundays from 1pm - 6pm.


Kagawong Folk Roots are taking their show on the road! They’ll be performing at the United Church in Little Current tomorrow evening at 7pm. Tickets are $10 each and can be picked up at the Main Street Café or at the door.


How do we know spring has sprung? There’s lots of music in the air! Come out Thursday, April 26 to hear various combinations of all ages of music students from across the island perform, including a mass band performance. The concert starts at 7pm at Manitoulin Secondary School, and entry is by donation to the island schools’ music programs.


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!


A very happy birthday to the sweetest Kagawongian - Jean W is turning 29 in a few days. Team Fergmeijer intends to have lunch with her at least one day this week to celebrate. We’ll even make her husband do the cooking!


This time last year we were announcing the start of smelt season. We haven’t heard any hints of them running, but we are also asleep most nights by 9, so we might just be missing them all.


Salami get this straight (because we are easily cornfused), there are people out there that don’t like puns? If it’s upsetting to you, drop us a line and we can taco ‘bout it. We don’t want to get jalapeno business, but if you feel you are totally feta up with our long, drawn out puns, we should hash it out. Seriously, we doughnut know what we would do without puns, but we recognize that they aren’t to everyone’s taste.
