September 13, 2019

We are going to kick off this week’s column addressing the elephant, or rather, the black cat, in the room - it’s Friday the 13th today! Now, for some, that is a distressing thing. Not so much for us: Team Fergmeijer isn’t superstitious - we’re just a little stitious. To be honest, the scariest thing we’ll do this Friday the 13th is check our bank balances. 

The library has returned to their regular hours: Tuesday and Thursday 4 - 7pm; Saturday 10am - 1pm. Cooler weather in the fall means lots of snuggling up with a hot bevy and a book!


Zumba is back! Every Thursday at 7pm, head to the Park Centre to get active and dance like nobody’s watching. 


Do you know someone celebrating a birthday? Drop us a line at kagawong@live.ca and we’ll be sure they get the embarrassm...er… honour they deserve.  


It’s almost here! September 26th - 30th: The Elemental Festival is back with a fabulous lineup of entertainers for the fall of 2019! Musicians Sean Ashby, Ansley Simpson and local favourite, Fagroongala will be performing over the weekend. Rumour has it some local musicians will be performing as well! But it’s not just music… check out their website for workshops and clinics for adults and children. For more details and ticket information go online to www.4elementslivingarts.org


Did you know? Friggatriskaidekaphobia is the scientific term for the fear of Friday the 13th. It’s also what one half of Team Fergmeijer said when they stubbed their toe this morning.


The Billings Rebranding Committee is looking for a creative, exciting logo to go with our new slogan: Come Experience Billings… Exceptional Think you have a design that will showcase our amazing township and complement our new slogan? Submit your design for consideration - you might win $500! Deadline for submissions is October 31, 2019. Submit your design to Todd Gordon at the town office, or by email: tgordon@billingstwp.ca 


The Go Green committee would like to remind you that Waste Reduction Week is coming up in October! Stay tuned for more information as the date approaches.


Once again, Kagawong is well-represented in the upcoming CIBC Run for the Cure, October 6 in Sudbury! Local ladies Mary Buie and Heather Theijsmeijer will be taking part and raising money for breast cancer research, treatment, and outreach. Search for “CIBC Run for the Cure” in your favourite browser, and search for either of their names to sponsor them. At time of writing, Mary is the second-highest fundraiser for the Sudbury run!!


No matter how superstitious you are, you have to agree, Friday the 13th is still better than Monday the whatever. Have a great week!
