With the Island under a tornado watch, yours truly decided a movie marathon with homemade funnel cake snacks was the best way to spend the evening. We watched Twister, The Wizard of Oz, and all 5 Sharknados. There was one other tornado movie we watched even though we weren’t familiar with it, and the big twist at the end blew us away! It had a mad scientist who creates a huge fire tornado (some people just want to see the whirled burn).
Today (Wednesday) is the last market day 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.
It was with great sadness that we learned about the passing of Lloyd Neganegijig this past weekend. Lloyd was a great friend to many in our community. He was a hard worker, happiest when he had a project on the go or when he could help out a friend. Lloyd always had a smile and a joke to share. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Happy birthday to Susan S who turns 29 tomorrow. It’s your big day, so celebrate however you want to - eat cake in bed, get drunk on champagne, buy a motorcycle, or a monkey, or get a full back tattoo of the raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy. Whatever you do, we hope you enjoy every moment of it!
The 4elements Living Arts Elemental Festival is set for September 25-26 right here in Kagawong. Kagawong River stories, live music, and storytelling… oh my! It’s going to be a fabulous event. Follow 4elements on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/4elementslivingarts) for more details.
While we are all greatly enjoying our smooth new roads and sidewalks through the centre of Kagawong, construction’s not quite done yet! Hard surfacing will begin in the next few weeks on Range A Sideroad, Monument Road, and Old Mill Road (from the bridge to the bottom of Graham Hill). Stay tuned for more information on dates!
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 ($30) at the library, the Heritage Centre.
This week Billings Library bid a fond farewell to long-time summer librarian Emily as she heads back to school for the fall. Many thanks for your dedication and hard work over the summer! The library has now returned to regular hours: Tuesday & Thursday 4-7; Saturday 10-1.
Speaking of tornados, we heard a local rooming house was struck by a tornado once. Roomers were flying about that one! Have a great week!
