Little known fact about your friendly neighbourhood Fergmeijers: we have black-and-white tattoos all over our shoulders and backs! Occasionally, when people are sad we let them colour them in, because sometimes people just need a shoulder to crayon.
The Billings Public Library had to say a fond farewell to summer student Emily S this week. They are so grateful for her efforts to keep the place running like clockwork all summer long! The library is now back to their regular hours (Tuesday & Thursday 4pm-7pm, and Saturdays 10am-1pm).
We were sad to hear John B had a spot of trouble earlier in the month, but are happy to report he is on the mend and no doubt keeping the hospital staff on their toes!
Resident tech guru, Jamie Ward was telling us the other day that his wife can’t read the clock from across their living room. He was overheard saying, "The wife-eye in this house has a very limited range, yo."
Team Aelick’s Stroll for Liver was a huge success again this year with a solid crowd of supporters joining eyebrowless-Wayne and Anna as they made their way through Kagawong! It’s not too late… you can still support the Canadian Liver Foundation by donating online!
Fair warning, if you interrupt us while we are working on a puzzle you are likely to hear some crosswords.
Summer is on the downward slope, but there is still a chance to make it out to the Kagawong market! This week and next week are your last chance, though, so hop to it! It’s the largest market on the Island with dozens of vendors with amazing, creative, delicious, and practical things. Check it out Wednesdays from 10am-3pm There’s lots of parking available along Henry Drive and at the Park Centre.
We are wishing several friends and neighbours a hearty happy birthday this week. Amy H, Diane L, Amanda G, and Susan S all turn 29 this week, and not one of you looks a day over FABULOUS!
A warm welcome was extended to Mike, Jackie, MÃ iri, and Andrew, who were visiting from the ‘shwa this past week. By all reports, they had an excellent visit, and even discovered that Newton’s First Law still applies here in Kagawong, especially to wet swim trunks left on a car roof.
The annual Elemental Festival put on by 4elements Living Arts is returning for fall of 2022! Events are kicking off with a concert in Kagawong tomorrow (September 1st) at the Old Church on the Hill. Come out and hear Georgia Hathaway at 7pm, where she will share some of her Manitoulin-inspired music. All are welcome to this free concert.

Continue right into the weekend with even more music, as one-third of the Iced T’s performs on Friday evening (September 2nd) at the market pavillion! Join Chris Theijsmeijer and friends for an evening of music, beginning at 7pm. Bring your own chair; donations will be collected for the Billings Library.
The Angel Bus fundraising committee is raffling off a gorgeous quilt (courtesy of Pat Best). You can get your tickets from multiple sources, including the Wednesday market here in Kagawong as well as the street market in Gore Bay on Friday. All proceeds go to support the Angel Bus - a wheelchair accessible bus, providing free transportation for Manitoulin Lodge Residents and other medically vulnerable citizens of Western Manitoulin Island.

Team Fergmeijer has started brushing our teeth together, because 9 out of 10 dentists agree that brushing alone won’t reduce cavities. Have a good week!
