If you hear a joyful Yoda-lay-hee-hoo! echo across Mudge Bay this week, it is just Team Fergmeijer marking one of our favourite days. In the immortal words of Yoda himself: Celebrate May the 4th, you must! Now, your friendly neighbourhood Fergmeijers are admittedly obsessed with all things Star Wars, but we have a friend who went just that little bit too far. She decided to get a tattoo of her favourite character - right on her cheek. We could tell that she instantly regretted it once she saw it in a mirror. You should have seen the Luke on her face!
As per the COVID-19 Provincial Order, the Aus Hunt Marina boat launch, the small craft basin boat launch, the picnic pavilion, and the basketball/tennis court have been closed. However, landfill hours will remain the same throughout the lockdown: Tuesdays and Thursdays 2pm-6pm, and Sundays 10am-4pm. Please remember to use clear bags for household waste and to separate out your paper and co-mingle items (plastics, tetra pack juice/milk cartons, cans).
What did Yoda learn to ride as a child? A do-cycle. Because there is no tri.
