The weather is getting a bit cooler these days. Team Fergmeijer appreciates the relief from the heat and humidity of August, but can’t help but have a small sigh of regret that we will soon lose the dulcet calls of the sandhill cranes. We’ll have to content ourselves with practicing our sandhill calls over the winter in order to be competitive for the annual coo-ing challenge next spring.
30+ dogs brought their humans out to play at the annual Bark in the Park last weekend. The crowds agreed that the highlight was definitely the demonstration by Mike Buckner (MNRF) and his new trainee, Echo. Fun was definitely had by all, both four- and two-legged.
Happy belated 29th birthday to Jamie M. Remember, real rockers don’t get old, they just scale down. Celebrating 29 years young on Tuesday is former Kagawong resident, Kevin Miller (and presumably his twin brother Ken, though he doesn’t have his birthday listed on Facebook so it’s possible Ken’s is a different day. Team Fergmeijer can only dig so deep for personal information before someone calls the OPP on us).
Harpist and Singer-Songwriter Martha Gallagher is playing a concert Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7:30pm at the Kagawong Park Center. Tickets are $20 and are available from Central Pharmacy in Gore Bay, or by contacting Jane at jane@bestsongs.ca.
Looking for a reason to dance? Kagawong Folk Roots will be playing at the Old Church on the Hill on September 29 at 7:00pm. Tickets are available at the door for $15, with proceeds going toward church renovations. According to local music aficionado Jamie Ward, “Come cut a rug, so we can replace it, yo!”
Two mice are chewing on a film reel. One turns to the other and says, “I think the book was better!” Speaking of books, just a reminder that the library has returned to regular winter hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4pm-7pm, and Saturday from 10am-1pm.
They’re at it again! Kagawongians Mary Buie and Heather Theijsmeijer are donning pink and taking part in the CIBC Run for the Cure in Sudbury to raise money for breast cancer research. Interested in pledging toward the cause? Go to cibcrunforthecure.com and click “Donate!”
The next Euchre tournament is on September 19, 2018. All players are welcome - play starts at 7:30pm at the Park Centre. Regular Wednesday Euchre starts September 26 and will continue to November 14 provided attendance is reasonable.
Hunting season is just around the corner - Team Fergmeijer went out to buy some good camouflage clothing the other day, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t find any. Have a great week!
