It might bake you crazy to hear this, but Team Fergmeijer have recently been recognized as cupcake connoisseurs! It’s a pretty big deal - we’re like the local version of the Carbdashians. But never fear, dear readers, though we may occasionally be whisk-takers, we will never dessert you for the big leagues.
What’s that? You haven’t been to the Kagawong market yet this year? Drop this paper (well, finish reading our column, obviously) and head to the market pavilion in downtown Kagawong to catch one of the last market Wednesdays of the summer! Over 40 vendors will be set up from 10am-3pm with arts & crafts, clothing, baking, produce, books, home decor, and more. Please remember to wear your masks, use the provided hand sanitizer, and social distance where possible. Take the stress out of finding a parking spot - park at the Park Centre or along Henry Drive.
A hearty toast to Rick and Barb Edwards on the 25th anniversary of their studio and gallery in the Old Mill! Be sure to pop by and congratulate them.
Join local businesses as they celebrate the first (hopefully annual!) Younge Street Festival, September 3-5! This festival will have it all - artisans, musicians, fun contests for the young and old, and live chainsaw performances by the Carver Kings! All are welcome! Pop in to the Sugar Bush Canadian Coffee House or Bare Naked Beauty for more information, or to purchase tickets for the evening concerts. More information can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/youngestfestival/
Not going to sugar coat it, this column took a long time to complete this week. All the baking puns we were considering kept making us burst out loafing! We cut it very close to the deadline, but after all is bread and done, we got it in. Batter late than never.
The township is hiring! Billings Township is looking for a Full-Time Financial / Administrative Support Worker. Check out the township website (http://billingstwp.ca) for more information. The deadline to apply is September 8th at 12noon.
Happy birthday to Kagawongian Diane L who turns 29 on Monday. Amy H is Kagawong-adjacent, so we’re counting her. She turns 29 on Sunday. We hope both of you make like pickles and truly relish your special day! An extra-special set of birthday wishes go out to Team Fergmeijer’s Manitoulin mom. Don’t worry, you don’t have to say which of us is your favourite.
Billings Library and the Old Mill Heritage Centre are pleased to announce the long-awaited publication of “How It All Began”! This third edition of the beloved local history book has been a year-long joint effort between the two organizations, with the full support of the township to see it through. Copies will be available for purchase at the library, the Heritage Centre and at the Friends of Billings Library table at the Kagawong market.
Team Fergmeijer attended a friend’s wedding on the weekend. It was quite an emotional ceremony! The bride cried, the bridesmaids all got weepy… even the wedding cake was in tiers. Have a great week!
