October 2, 2020

Have you noticed a change in the air? Noticed things seem to be quieting down in town, and just a bit less energetic than usual? It’s not the change of the season, it’s the loss of MBB and Susie! We bid a bittersweet farewell to the dynamic duo as they set out to make their fortunes out west. They will be sorely missed, but we wish them well. 

The 4e Bee Mobile Studio Tour launched last Saturday here in Kagawong and was a rousing success! Many kids of all ages, including Mike Mantha and Carol Hughes, tried their hands at the crafts and everyone was enthralled with the music. This weekend you can follow the Bee to Providence Bay. From 11am - 3pm join artist Sharon Preen and musician Jenna Maisonneuve on the beach, and take home your very own craft. 

 

There was a brief power outage not long ago. We aren’t sure, but it might be related to an incident with a friend of ours. Her son was caught chewing electrical cords and she had to ground him. He’s doing better currently and since then has been conducting himself properly. Shockingly, he’s shown no resistance to the grounding!

 

The happiest of happy birthday wishes goes out to John B, who turned 29 last week. We are confident he celebrated in style.


Once again, as the unstoppable force that she is, Kagawongian Mary Buie is raising money for the CIBC Run for the Cure, in support of breast cancer research and outreach. A breast cancer survivor, and no stranger to long distance walking, Mary is planning on walking 5 km as part of this year’s virtual event (taking place October 4), quite likely sporting bright pink in doing so. Mary has already raised $1000, but it’s not too late to support her. Visit http://cibcrunforthecure.ca/ and click “Donate” to search for Mary’s name and donate to her campaign!


Never challenge Death to a pillow fight, unless you are prepared to face the reaper cushions. 


These are the days of our lives…. Harvest Glory Days that is! Help Kagawong out by decorating our community in the spirit of the harvest! Homes, businesses, halls, churches, parks, town office, farm gates, goats, lighthouses, giant backhoes, and mailboxes can all be decorated to put us in the running for a fabulous community spirit sign. Check out the Expositor for more details. 


Team Fergmeijer went to the hardware store the other day and asked if we could get an escalator for the house. All we got were some funny stares. (We love this joke because it works on so many levels!)


The countdown to Christmas has started! To Christmas in Kagawong, anyway. It’s only a week away! Grab your Santa’s hat and sleigh bells, and join us on October 10th at the market grounds at The Old Church on the Hill in Kagawong from 10am to 3pm. Potential vendors should contact Councillor Sharon Alkenbrack, Chair of the Billings Economic Development Committee, if interested at (705) 282-0193.


This last one is dedicated to superfans Mike and Susie: A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk into a bar. The rabbit says, “I think I’m a typo.” Have a great week!
