You know Team Fergmeijer loves a good holiday, and we have been especially pi-ning for March 14th - Pi Day! It’s a day that celebrates both nerds and dessert. What’s not to love? We could quite easily eat pi 22/7, but only a la mode. Anything less is mean. As much as we love pie, we do have an issue with the equation ‘pi r squared.’ Mostly because pi are round and cake are square.
Cooo-ngratulations to this year’s Sandhill Crane spotting challenge winner, Peter G! Peter both spotted the migratory birds and heard their melodious coo on Wednesday, March 13th. No stranger to the fame that comes with winning this prestigious award, this is Peter’s second time taking the title. Next up: the annual April 1st Sandhill Crane coo-ing competition.

Happy 29th birthday to Shirley F and not-quite 29th to Brett V. Don’t stress about your eyesight failing as you get older. It’s nature’s way of protecting you from shock as you walk past a mirror. Side note: we are hoping you youngsters start letting us know when you actually turn 29. We would hate to get your age wrong, and everyone knows we try very hard to avoid looking foolish in this column.
Mark your calendars! The Easter Bunny is hopping back into Kagawong on Saturday, March 30th for the annual Easter egg hunt!

Thanks to the Billings Parks, Recreation and Wellness Committee for hosting this event.

What do you call it when someone gets a huge tattoo of pi on their face? An irrational decision. Have a great week!
