‘Twas the night before Christmas -
And ‘tis time for a rhyme!
And this year we submitted
Our column on time!
As usual we look back
On our year with reflection,
And certain events
Deserve closer inspection.
We can start with the vote,
And then reminisce,
On the many new faces
Brought into office.
Mayor Aus called it quits
And kindly stepped aside.
His long legacy though,
Cannot be denied.
Even with a fire ban
We sometimes awoke
To a hot sunny day
And a town filled with smoke!
St. Paul’s closed down,
But filled with music still:
It came back to life, as the
Old Church on the Hill!
A hot housing market
Saw lots of home buyers,
And we tripled the number of
Island Theijsmeijers!
Paikin sightings continued
From summer to fall,
And we held our first contest
For the sandhill crane call.
This year had a so many
Fundraising dinners with snacks,
That we may have started
To outgrow our slacks.
Thank goodness for Plucky
After meals extravagant,
A KFC workout
Kept us from living sans-pants
The Green Living Expo
Talked electric cars.
That rec committee is
Really filled with all-stars.
Summerfest, winterfest,
and concerts galore
Ask anyone and they’ll say
This town has lots to explore.
Even if the town
Was wholly uneventful,
It wouldn’t matter to us
It’s you who make it special.
So we wrap up our review
With wise words from long ago:
“Kagawong may be small
Be we are mighty, yo!”
Until spring time
When the first crane is seen
Have a happy and safe
2019!
