Well, shello there! May 23rd is World Turtle Day and we are very excited to shellebrate by sharing our wide shellection of shellarious turtle-based puns with you. We even went to a special turtle pun class last week in preparation. We thought it would be turtally awesome, but truthfully, it tortoise nothing that we didn’t already know about turtle puns. We also went to the library and asked if they had any books on turtles. The librarian asked, “Hardback?” and we said, “Yeah. And little heads!” In the end, we looked up a turtorial online.
Thank you to all the vendors, exhibitors, and visitors who came into Kagawong for the Manitoulin Streams Outdoor Angling Trade Fair on the long weekend! It was a great way to kick off the summer, and left our village a-bustling!
Have you got a dinking problem? Kagawong has newly-painted pickleball courts in the outdoor rink! Check out the Kagawong Outdoor Recreational Facility page on Facebook for more information.
Don’t forget that the Old Mill Heritage Centre is now open for the season. The popular vintage camera and photographic exhibition has been brought back from last year, and there is also a new exhibit featuring local representatives who have gone on to have storied political careers. Be sure to stop in!
Team Fergmeijer saw a good sized snapping turtle the other day, and it was carrying a large hammer. We’re pretty sure it was a Thortoise.
With all this sunny weather, things are definitely heating up! Kagawong is becoming quite the hot spot as well. Check out all the activities going on in Billings over the coming months: Team Aelick are gearing up for their Stroll for Liver in early June. Stroll on over yourself to https://bit.ly/strollforliver to donate to this worthy cause. The Jabbawong Storytelling Festival is July 5th and 6th. The library book sale and local author showcase will be held July 20th, and the Manitoulin Art Tour is on that same weekend. And don’t forget about Kagawong’s huge market on Wednesdays throughout the summer! If you have (or know of) any other events and activities, let us know so we can let everyone else know! Email us at fergmeijer@gmail.com
We are wishing summer visitor Tammy S, and east-ender Erin F a very happy birthday this week. Don’t forget, birthdays are the perfect excuse to eat cake for breakfast.
Tennis, anyone? The Manitoulin Tennis Club is back to meeting Sunday mornings at 10am at the Manitoulin Secondary School courts. Players of all abilities are welcome, with lessons available in the near future.
We hope this week’s shorter-than-average column wasn’t a turtle disaster. Have a great week!
