September 13, 2023

Hello! Team Fergmeijer here, your local pun laureates. We don’t know how you feel, but in our experience, bridge puns really hold up. Of course, there is one convoluted metaphor for bridges that aren’t built well that we refuse to include here. It’s just too hard to get across well. As you may know, the bridge along the river trail was broken some time ago. It was so shocking, we still can’t get over it. It wasn’t clear if it was damaged on purpose: there’s no concrete evidence of it being deliberate.  

Lookout! Repairs are being made on the Old Mill Road bridge. The bridge is scheduled to be closed Tuesday, September 12 and Friday, September 15. Please use Graham Hill and Newburn Road as a detour. 


Tonight! Join Lou Carcasole for a free mindfulness session, and find out how you can permanently reduce your stress and improve your life. Brought to you by the Parks, Recreation and Wellness Committee, Lou has been helping people reduce their stress for over 28 years. Wednesday, September 13 from 7-8:30pm at the Kagawong Park Centre. 


Have you been missing the weekly summer markets here in Kagawong? Then we’ve got good news for you! A special evening market is being held in Kagawong on Saturday, September 16 from 4-9pm at the Park Centre. Stop in and check out the vendors, food, cabanas, and even a fire pit to ward off that autumnal evening chill. We hear nearby shops will be open as well. Don’t miss out!


Body Stories Dance Instruction is offering dance classes at the Park Centre in Kagawong this fall, for ages five through adult. Check out their fall schedule for more information, or to register: https://www.bodystoriesdance.com/schedule#schedule


Fresh community gossip! Did you hear there was a stickup on the Old Mill Road bridge? Turns out some kid threw it up there.


The Billings Library is officially back to its winter hours. They are open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4pm-7pm, and Saturdays from 10am-1pm. The landfill continues on its summer hours until the end of October: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2pm-6pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-4pm. 


Happy birthday wishes go out to Jamie W and Kim B. We aren’t sure what you got up to for your big days, but if it involved a party at the ice creamery, we bet it was gelato fun! 


Just around the corner, the 4elements Living Arts annual Elemental Festival will be September 23rd and 24th in Kagawong. Come out and celebrate the beauty, bounty and history of Mnidoo Mnising through workshops and performances on singing and dancing, an artisan and food vendor market, artistic workshops, a children’s pop-up play area, and a special dinner & performance event. Visit the festival Facebook page (https://fb.me/e/UqD3Bj6e) for more information. 


If bridges could speak, would it be in Span-ish? Have a great week!
