October 25, 2023

Well, we had a good run - an entire year of not missing a week’s paper, but it had to end sometime. Apologies for the absence of the Team Fergmeijer column from last week’s Expositor. Turns out that not only is our short-term memory horrible, so is our short-term memory. Of course, the good thing about a bad memory is that jokes can be funny more than once!

It’s going to be a great Halloween… we can feel it in our bones! If you’re out trick-or-treating, or just planning on going out for a gourd time, Billings Township has you covered. The Parks, Recreation and Wellness Committee are planning to hand out treats at the Park Centre! Little ghouls and goblins are welcome to stop by the Fire Hall and the Library, too.


Shortly after Halloween will be the annual Christmas in Kagawong market. Save the date - the market this year will be November 17th and 18th. And don’t forget about the Billings Library’s annual silent auction November 23rd to 26th. Join the auction Facebook group (FB.com/groups/libraryauction) to see some sneak peeks of the items that will be up for grabs and to be ready to bid when the auction starts!


A very happy 29th birthday goes out to Kagawongians Ken F and Rachel B, while a very happy not-quite-29th birthday goes out to Meranda V. Don’t let aging get you down. It’s WAY too hard to get back up again. 


All aboard!! The Manitoulin Secondary School Musical Theatre Program invites you to “The Emerald Heist'' dinner theatre experience on November 10th and 11th. The killer has covered their tracks well, and the truth is hidden in train sight. Join your fellow passengers in the dining car as you enjoy a delicious three-course dinner and work to unravel whodunit. Work together to keep the evening from going off the rails while you determine the criminal’s loco-motive. Email fergusj@rainbowschools.ca for more information, or purchase your tickets online at www.ticketspice.com/emeraldheist


The next Island Wide Waste Management Meeting is coming up on Tuesday, November 14th at 7:00pm, at the Kagawong Park Centre. Everyone is welcome.


What are you doing on December 2nd? Laughing with family, friends and neighbours at the annual Kagawong Community Christmas Concert, of course! There’s speculation going around about the return of the chicken skit, but with the price of groceries being what they are, we can’t be sure if it’s true or just a rumour. 


With the weather starting to turn, there’s snow place to be like the rink! If you are interested in volunteering to help maintain the  community rink, please contact Tiana at the town office (tmills@billingstwp.ca). 


The good thing about a bad memory is that jokes can be funny more than once! Have a great week!
