Spring has been on a roll with all this gorgeous weather! Last weekend Team Fergmeijer decided to baguette away from it all for a day and hit the trails. It was a jam-packed day of hiking, although now and a grain we would stop and rest and just appreciate the views. It is nice to escape the hustle and bustle because sometimes it can start to feel like you have the wheat of the world on your shoulders. No matter how you slice it, getting out in nature is always beneficial, but especially when you are feeling sub-par about things. Interestingly, we came across another hiker while they were eating lunch just off the trail. They looked like they were Havana delicious Cuban sandwich but when we asked about it the hiker packed up quickly and said, ‘That’s a wrap!’ and left.
Today is the first day of the Kagawong summer market! Today and every Wednesday, pop on by the market pavilion from 10am-3pm and peruse the wares of many local artisans, bakers, craftspeople, and farmers.
Tennis season is off to a great start with the Manitoulin Tennis Club! Regular weekly sessions are Sundays at 10am at the Manitoulin Secondary School courts, and continue through the summer. Beginners and seasoned players welcome!
This past weekend saw Kagawongians come together to host two community yard sales. A huge number of people made their way through both. Not only is it a fantastic way for the community to contribute to the reuse and recycling of household items, but the Angel Bus yard sale made $1000 from their sale to support transportation for Manitoulin Lodge residents and other medically vulnerable citizens of Western Manitoulin Island. The Angel Bus gives access to seasonal activities such as picnics and fall colour outings, community activities such as school performances, theatre and music events, farmers' markets and shopping excursions, and to attend medical appointments, all at no charge.
The deadline is today! Do you know a citizen of Billings that goes above and beyond and deserves special recognition? Nominate them for Billings’ Citizen of the Year! There are two categories - under 18 years old and over 18 years old. Submit your nominations to tmills@billingstwp.ca by today (June 1).
The Old Mill Heritage Centre is open for the season, so stop in and take the tour! They are open Wednesday - Sunday from 10am-4pm.
Are you bready to hear about the omnomnominations for most delicious sammich on the island? There were a number of award categories: Winner of the Most Dramatic Sammich is the ham. Best party sandwich is the Gyro (it makes you want to shimmy!). The sandwich that always comes through in an emergency is the Hero, and a special mention goes out to the only sandwich with its own band of admirers - the Club. The fan favourite was the Fool’s Gold Loaf sandwich. Apparently a favourite of the King himself, Elvis Presley, this masterpiece consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly... and a pound of bacon.
The Late Bloomers ‘adopt’ one or two flower boxes around the community, planting their individual choice of flowers. The result is a beautiful collection of plantings for all to enjoy! If you would like to join them and adopt a planter, email jferguson@manitoulin.net for more information.
Happy Birthday wishes to Morgan E who celebrates his 29th birthday this week.Welcome to that point in your life where you still hope people remember your birthday, but you’d prefer if they forgot your age.
We want to tell you the secret to getting just the right amount of mayo on your sandwich, but don’t spread it around because that would be a major breach of crust. Have a great week!
