Cowabunga! There were several unusual encownters in town last week on Udder… er, Upper Street and Rainbow Heights. Some were more amoosing than others, but as far as we know, there were no cowsualties. Rumour has it council is putting together a steering committee to investigate beefing up security around town so that, mooving forward, incidents like that don’t happen again.
Please note that because the current water demand is overtaxing the moonicipal water system, the township has issued the following public notice regarding exterior water usage: Residents may use moonicipal water for exterior purposes (watering lawns and gardens, washing vehicles, etc.) only on alternating days. Those with even numbered residences on even numbered days, and odd numbered residences on odd numbered days. Exterior water usage may occur between 5am and 8am, and 6pm and midnight only.
Have you herd? As we predicted, this year’s annual book and bake sale was a legendairy success! Chairperson Ruth and librarian Jill asked us to express their appreciation to all the volunteers (special shout out to the Friends of Billings Library!) who make the sale possible each year.
