It’s Tuesday night as Team Fergmeijer sits down to write this column and let us just say, it’s snow going plowing through all these winter puns. Every snow often we feel a bit ice-olated living on the Island in the winter, especially when the snow piles up, but we just have to tell ourselves that with great powder comes great responsibility. Frost things first, we bundled up all our best jokes and are slowly warming up to this week’s writing effort. You snow full well that with the severe cold weather this week, the snuggle is real.
Frost and foremost, kudos to the 30+ men, women and children who braved the cold to come out for the Kagawong Women’s March last Saturday!
Happy birthday to two fantastic women: Susie D and Jenna C. These crazy, wonderful women both turn 29 next week!
Snow you’re already feeling the winter blahs? Break out the plaid! Winterfest is coming to Kagawong! Come out Saturday, February 9 from 10am to 2pm at the Park Centre for all sorts of snowlesome wintry festivities!
