February 7, 2020

It would appear that the last couple of columns on the topic of pigeons have ruffled a few feathers, and several people were not emused. We would never want to create a hawkward situation, and hate the thought that our column might make some readers stork raving mad. We didn’t think the puns were that bad; it’s possible that the pigeon jokes just flew over their heads. Team Fergmeijer, however, has no egrets.

Yo, Daddy-o! Be prepared to be whisked away to the 1950s with Manitoulin Secondary School’s production of Bye, Bye Birdie… it’s the ginchiest! This big tickle of a show is playing February 13th, 14th, and 15th, with the curtain rising at 7pm. Tickets are $16 each, available at the door. Or if you can beat feet to the various island drug stores (where advance tickets are available in limited quantities), you’ll be made in the shade. See all you cool cats there!


Regretfully the showing of the movie The Shack at St. John’s Anglican church tonight has been postponed. Follow the Kagawong Facebook page for updates.


Fancy a skate? Dedicated Kagawongian volunteers have been keeping the rink at the Park Centre clear of snow and pigeon-free. Stop by and enjoy the outdoor facilities!


Know someone with a birthday? Anniversary? Reaching new milestones? A new hairdo? If it’s not too much of a birden, let us know so we can embarrass them appropriately in our column!


Get ready to dance your heart out - Zumba is up and running again! Come on out Thursdays from 7-8pm at the Park Centre. You can pay either the monthly rate (number of classes that month x $5) or the drop-in rate of $10/class. Time to bust a move!


Are you finding yourself in a slump?

And turning into a bit of a grump?

Come out and play cards!

It’s not very hard!

Euchre has the fun kind of trump!


Next Euchre tournament is Wednesday, February 19th at 7:30 pm. Just a friendly reminder that the tournaments are on the top floor of the Park Centre. Bring a friend or find a partner there! Subsequent tournaments are every third Wednesday of the month.


Remember, because spreading germs should be ill-eagle, when coughing, elbows are the new hands!

Have a great week!
