Holiday Special 2019

Twas the night before Christmas; Fergmeijer felt sublime.
For the second year running, Our column’s on time!  

Another year has gone by, in our little town.

So many things to mention that add to our renown. 


So sit back and relax - we won’t be too long,

As we recap events in quaint Kagawong.


Come Experience Billings! ...is our new motto.

With so much to see and do, it seems apropos!


Finally selling one’s house does not disappoint...

Now ALL of Fergmeijer lives out at the Point!


Kagawong welcomed travellers, from near and from far;

John and Mary Buie got a fancy new car!


We held our third annual Crane Competition;

For Willa and Peter, it’s a bit of an addiction.


Subs and pizza in Kagawong? It’s true, now you can!

Grab a yummy slice thanks to Al and Betty-Ann.


Summer was glorious! We came out with a tan.

And for once a wet spring led to no fire ban.


The tourists were aplenty! We know that’s so-so... 

But Jean, Jamie, and Leith, got a new deck, yo!


We saw you at the movies, if sharks were your thing.

When it comes to great whites, the Meg was the king.


The Bay Hill can be tricky, as Tustians can attest. 

Bruce stayed calm and collected, but the cows weren’t impressed.


It wasn’t the first time that cattle ran amok, 

and the KGB felt that they were pushing their luck.


We had the Christmas concert - the show’s infamous

Since we don’t let our talent (or lack) hinder us.


This year saw a concert that was filled with past lore, 

Songs, skits, and great music, and tails from Eeyore.


The new Star Wars is out! Our fav’s Chewbacca,

But who needs giant Wookies, when we have alpacas!


Summerfest, Winterfest, and gath’rings galore.

Keeping us busy - 7/24.


Many of us had journeys, some uphill both ways. 

With laughter and support though, we saw better days.


The future’s so bright that we have to wear shades,

So bring on the new year, and new escapades! 


We wish all of you peace, joy, and laughter aplenty.

We can’t wait to see what comes in the year 2020!
