December 14, 2018

Tonight’s the night! Kagawong Community Concert night! Meet us (and Santa!) at the Park Centre tonight at 7:30 for the usual song, skits and shenanigans you have come to expect from this (in)famous event. Admission is free, though donations of cash or non-perishable food are gratefully accepted and will be passed along to Manitoulin Family Resource.


As it is community concert tonight, we are easing back on the silly jokes this week. The MC will need all the help she can get tonight and we don’t want to steal her thunder. Plus, Team Fergmeijer is doing some last minute lobbying to get on Santa’s ‘nice’ list and we couldn’t be sure where the big guy falls on the pun issue.


Happy birthday to Hailey F who celebrates this weekend (although she is not turning 29 for quite some time). Her birthday is just far enough removed from Christmas that she doesn’t have to share presents between the two special days. Despite being geographically challenged by living way out on the east end, we feel Christine L-M is a Kagawongian where it counts, so we wish her a very happy 29th birthday next week.


The Island Singers also have a concert coming up! Sunday, December 16 at 3:30pm at the Missionary Church in Mindemoya. See posters around town for more details.


If walking in a winter wonderland isn’t your jam, sign up for a membership to the Kagawong Fitness Centre, where you can walk in the comfort of a dry, warm, comfortable room. Contact Sharon Jackson for more information.


Euchre Night in Kagawong is on hiatus for the next couple of months: the regular Wednesday night games won’t be continued in 2019, but regular tournaments will run every third Wednesday starting on January 16th.


The United Manitoulin Transit group is currently involved in a feasibility and needs study for local transit on the Island. If you are resident living on the Island you can complete the online survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/United_Manitoulin_Community_Transit_Survey
If you are an employer/business owner on Manitoulin you are invited to fill in this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Manitoulin_Island_Transit_Employer_Survey


Looking ahead to Christmas supper, the Kagawong Gobble Brigade urges you to mix things up a little this year when it comes to the main dish and invites you to visit www.CookingwiththeGoggleBrigade.com for dozens of fabulous pork and beef recipes. (Who wants to be the one to tell them they might want to rethink the URL?)
