The end of the summer season always makes us a bit more reflective. We start to ask some of the deep questions, like: if you cross a chicken with a cow, do you get roost beef? Is a pair of scissors one or two? Are painkillers just the ‘mute notifications’ option for our bodies? Do you suppose a librarian could be referred to as a bookkeeper? Would that make a referee a game warden? And a milkman a cowboy? What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
4elements living arts kicked off a series of Elemental Festival events with a concert by Georgia Hathaway at the Old Church on the Hill this past Thursday. Georgina shared her Manitoulin-inspired music with a very appreciative audience. Keep your eyes peeled for even more upcoming events in September and October!
The music continued Friday night as Chris Theijsmeijer led an evening of song as a fundraiser for the library. Thank you to Chris and the generous crowd for supporting the library.
This is it - your last chance to check out the amazing market in Kagawong! Wednesday is the final market of the 2022 season. Stop in for fresh veg, creative crafts, delicious food, amazing art, and a multitude of other fantastic goods. The market runs 10am-3pm. It’s never too soon to stock up on gifts for the holidays!
Happy birthday to a couple of amazing women: Susan S & Kim B both turned 29 recently. Remember, just because you remember dancing to the Macarena, doesn’t mean you are old! Former Kagawongian Amanda G celebrated her 29th last week. Although technically she is no longer a local, she has many in the community who wish her well. Mandy, please know that although you may be far away, your birthday did not pass uncelebrated. In fact, your cake was delicious!
How do swimmers clean themselves? They wash up on shore! Having said that though, we have to keep our shores in ship shape, especially when it comes to the Kagawong River. A gentle reminder that altering the flow of the river can be damaging to the fish who spawn at the falls. This includes (but is not limited to) building your own enclosed pool within the already existing, natural pool at the base of the falls.
Billings Township has put out the call for elections officials. Check out the town website (www.billingstwp.ca) for more information on the requirements for these paid positions. Application forms are available on the township website or at the township office during regular business hours. Completed application forms must be returned to Kathy McDonald at the town office by 12:00 pm on Friday, September 16th. While you’re at it, make sure you’re registered to vote! Election day is Monday, October 24.
While shopping for cars this week, Team Fergmeijer learned that “heated seats” are so-named because “rear defroster” was already taken. Have a good week!
