Roses are red,
Mudge Bay is blue
Team Fergmeijer loves Billings
And thinks you should, too!

Happy early birthday to Valentine’s babies Neil L and Chase C. Neil is celebrating 29 years of romance, although Chase isn’t quite up to that number yet. 

Tomorrow! Dig out your extra festive toques and mittens - Winterfest is here! Saturday, February 9 from 10am to 2pm there will be all sorts of  wintery activities going on at the Park Centre! There will be lumberjack-themed games for the whole family outside, as well as a warming station with coffee, tea, and the Snowflake Café canteen inside. Proudly sponsored by the Billings Recreation Committee. 

Don’t get held up “at the bridge!” Every third Wednesday evening, come out to the Park Centre and try your luck in the monthly Euchre tournaments. There is also a euchre tournament as part of Winterfest, beginning at 1:30pm at the Park Centre.
