B-autumns up! We are on that fine line between fall and winter, and if you don’t like sappy puns, well you better leaf right now. It’s no secret that Team Fergmeijer loves the golden time between summer and winter (our favourite outfit is a har-vest). In fact, we recently finished writing a really long book about the fall season. It’s a tome. But don’t worry, the main characters live apple-y ever after in the end.
The Kagawong Cenotaph Board is once again presenting a Remembrance Day service on Saturday, November 11th, at 11am, at the Kagawong Park Centre. All are welcome to join Dr. Suzanne Evans, author of “A Taste of Longing,” which highlights the experiences of Manitoulin Island’s Ethel Mulvany and her time as a prisoner of war in Singapore during WW2. A documentary film crew will be in attendance as they explore her life. Potluck lunch (finger foods only) to follow, silver collection appreciated.
All aboard!! The Manitoulin Secondary School Musical Theatre Program invites you to “The Emerald Heist'' dinner theatre experience this Friday and Saturday. 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
Why did the turkeys cross the road? To go through the Main Street Express drive-through, of course! Keep your eyes peeled on the highway coming into town from the east. The turkeys have been roaming that area lately and you don’t want to fowl up your commute.
This November, Billings is kicking it into high gear with events galore! Everyone is welcome to the next Island Wide Waste Management Meeting on Tuesday, November 14th at 7:00pm, at the Kagawong Park Centre.
The following weekend, November 17 and 18th, is the annual Christmas in Kagawong market. The many vendors will fill the Park Centre chock full of amazing, creative and unique gifts. Always a highlight of the approaching holiday season!
Hot on the market’s heels is the library’s annual silent auction. Bidding starts at 9am on Thursday, November 23rd and final bids must be in by 6pm on Sunday the 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.
Finally, save the date for the annual Kagawong Community Christmas Concert! This (in)famous community event will be held on Saturday, December 2 at the ever-versatile Park Centre. We are looking for acts to fill the ranks, and have a VERY flexible definition of talent: skits, songs, recitations, jokes, juggling, sword swallowing… we are keen to see it all! Contact fergmeijer@gmail.com if you would like to take part.
Another year older, another year of questionable life choices for Jody K and Connie F. Happy 29th birthday to you both!
Go figure! Skating, that is… If you are interested in volunteering to help maintain the community rink this winter, please contact Tiana at the town office (tmills@billingstwp.ca).
We have low-key porch envy every time we go past Ethel N’s house. We have no idea how she manages to decorate things so fantastically in the fall. Maybe she’s born with it; maybe it’s maple leaves. Have a great week!
