December 6, 2019

The first week of December is under our belts and that means it’s time to put up the Christmas lights! Or, for some of us, it’s that glorious time of year where we can stop being embarrassed that they were never taken down last year. 

A reminder that the Kagawong Mall has switched to winter hours. Saturday and Sunday stay the same (10am-6pm and 1pm-6pm respectively), but the opening hours for Tuesdays and Thursdays have changed and are now 2:30pm - 6:30pm in order to take advantage of as much daylight as possible. 

Happy birthday to Laurie Z, newly elected president of the Team Fergmeier Fan Club! Membership is small, so it was really more of an acclimation to office, but she is confident that more will join as time goes on. 

This is it! Tomorrow is the (in)famous Kagawong Community Christmas Concert! Starting at 7pm, there is a full slate of performers, some with actual talent! Admission is by cash donation with all funds going to the local library and the Heritage Centre. Rumour has it there will be chances to bid on great prizes, and we’ve had an RSVP from the man in red himself, too!

But wait, there’s Myrrh! The Island Singers are having their Christmas concert next weekend - Saturday, December 14, at the Little Current United Church, and Sunday, December 15 at the Mindemoya Missionary Church! Both concerts are at 3pm; tickets ($10 per person or $20 per family) are available from any choir member.

We heard that Ted and Sandy on top of the hill are moving some of their animals to new pastures for the winter. It’s all happening in a smooth and orderly fashion; everyone is alpaca’d up and ready to go.  

The next euchre tournament will be held January 15th in the Park Centre. Bring a friend or find a partner there. 

Can’t seem to get enough time outside in the snow? Volunteers are wanted for outdoor rink maintenance. If interested, contact Sharon at 705-348-2722, or sign up at the township office (temporarily located at the Park Centre). 

Team Fergmeijer doesn’t usually get into the whole Black Friday thing, but this year we did take advantage of the sales to stock up on some stocking stuffers. We managed to snag the last copy of The Little Drummer Boy’s Greatest Hits album on CD! It includes the songs “Pum Pum Pum Pum,” “Rum Pum Pum,” “Ba Rum Pum Pum,” “Rum Pum Pum Ba Rum Pum Pum,” and special bonus track “Pum Pum Pum, Ba Rum Pum Pum.”
