There’s a nasty flu going around. We’ve heard of quite a few people who have been sick the last few days, and not the kind of sick that you put in air quotes because it’s hunting season. We hope those affected recover soon.
Christmas in Kagawong was a great success last weekend. Not only was the turkey stuffed, but so were the diners after an amazing turkey supper Friday night! The Park Centre was equally stuffed with vendors and shoppers all weekend long. Thank you to everyone who came out and made Kagawong such a happenin’ place on a cold and snowy weekend.
Congratulations to Orland and Andrew on taking first and second place in the annual Kagawong Scarecrow Hunt! Just like scarecrows, these two young men are outstanding in their field.
Happy birthday to Nora U as she turns 29 this week. Honourary Kagawongian Dwyne C is celebrating this week, too. We’re still waiting for confirmation on exactly how birthdays work out west, but we’re going to assume he will be turning 29 there as well. Rumour has it we owe Mel C some belated birthday wishes, as she turned 29 last week. If anyone knows how to live it up at 29, it’s Mel!
Speaking of birthdays, what do you get a hunter for his birthday? A birthday pheasant.

The Old Mill Heritage Centre museum is now closed for season. But fear not! They will open again in time for the Victoria Day long weekend. Follow them on their Facebook page for updates.
A biologist, a chemist and a statistician are out hunting. The biologist shoots at a deer but misses five feet to the right. The Chemist takes a shot at the deer, too and misses five feet to the left. The statistician shouts, “We got it!” Have a great week!
