Good Gourd, it’s November! Or should we say, Novem-brrrr? It may be colder, but etymologically-speaking, November is a hot month. Not as hot as Novfire but much warmer than Novashes.
Sadly, the Old Mill Heritage Centre’s annual Remembrance Day service, traditionally held on November 11, is cancelled this year due to COVID. However, there will be an outdoor wreath-laying ceremony at the Kagawong Cenotaph on Thursday, November 11th, at 11am. Lest we forget.
The new boards are up on the rink and they look great! Big thanks to all the local people involved in getting those improvements done. We can’t wait to head down and try it out!
Happy birthday to Gail L. Forget about the past, we can’t change it; forget about the future, we can’t predict it; forget about the present, we didn’t get you one. Many happy returns!
Best wishes to our Mainland Mom who is recovering from hip replacement surgery this week. It’s impossible to keep her down… she’ll be up and dancing in no time!

The Anglican Church is holding a Christmas Fair on Saturday, November 20th from 9am-2pm. There will be baked goods, crafts, and gift baskets up for grabs.

When fish are in schools some take math, and some take debate.
We know it’s a bit early to be decorating for Christmas, but it’s not too early to be planning your song and dance number for the annual Community Christmas Concert! With COVID concerns still uppermost in mind, organizers have decided to stick to the online format they used last year. Mark Saturday, December 18th on your calendar and start thinking about what song, joke, skit, or dance you might be willing to contribute! Email Kagawong@live.ca for more information or if you are interested in performing.
The Friends of the Billings Library is bringing their annual silent auction back, bigger and better than ever! The big ticket items like the golf card, mulch and gravel load are back again (along with SO many other fantastic items), but this year they have an extra-special travel bundle that will be up for grabs. Join the Facebook group “Friends of Billings Library Silent Auction” (www.facebook.com/groups/billingslibrarysilentauction) to get sneak peeks at the items before bidding goes live on Nov. 25th.
Don’t be worried about your smartphone and TV spying on you. Your vacuum cleaner has been gathering dirt on you for years. Have a great week!
