As we close out the month of July, Team Fergmeijer would like to take this opportunity to be serious for a moment, and shine a light on a little-known cause that is worth sharing: Lasagna Awareness Month. We know our puns tend to be a little saucy, but in all seriousness, ricotta tell you that there are layers to lasagna awareness that go beyond a simple ingredient list. We’re not noodling around - could lasagna be the best meal ever? Pastably. So be grate-ful for this amazing dish, and enjoy a slice for a good cause!
The annual History Day in Kagawong is coming up on August 8th at the Park Centre in Kagawong. In both the matinée (3:30pm) and evening (7:30pm) sessions, author & journalist Mike Strobel will speak about the North Channel “Rhu” tragedy, and author & journalist Richard Thomas will celebrate the Chi-Cheemaun with 50th anniversary sailing stories. Don’t miss out! Follow the Old Mill Heritage Centre on Facebook (facebook.com/KagawongMuseum) for more information.
The township is looking for naming suggestions for the covered rink area, because although we will forever know it as The PickleDome, it would appear some people weren’t happy with that option. Name suggestions for the Kagawong covered rink are being accepted at the town office until the end of August. Check their Facebook page for more information.
Along with naming the covered rink (and perhaps the township’s new tractor), it has come to our attention that the Kagawong Market Pavilion is in need of a more accurate name since the market moved up the hill. Thus we begin a second completely informal, not-affiliated-with-the-township, and unlikely to get approval, naming competition for the town’s picnic pavilion across the road from the beach. So far, submissions include the Kagawong Kanopy, Picnic Paradise, the Turkey Tent, the Alfresco Experience, and the Chuckle Hut. Email fergmeijer@gmail.com and let us know your pick!
Team Fergmeijer received a lovely compliment last weekend from long-time fan, Mary N. While we strive to report on the recent goings-on in Kagawong, we admit our info about the geographical region around the Thames River isn’t very… current.
The totals have been tallied! The Billings Public Library would once again like to thank everyone who stopped in and added to their to-read pile by purchasing books at their annual used book sale a few weekends ago. The library raised over $2000 at the event! If you missed out, fear not - you can still check out some books (and games) from the library, Tuesday through Saturday from 9am until 5pm (closed 12noon - 1pm for lunch).
Happy birthday to Willa W who has a birthday sometime around now, as well as Lisa H. Happy 29th to you both! We have two birthday tips for you: 1) forget the past, you can’t change it, and 2) forget the present, because we didn’t get you one.
What’s that? You haven’t yet been to the Kagawong Summer Market? Be sure to come down into the village Wednesday from 10am until 3pm to check out the over 70 regular vendors! There is something at the market for everyone.
The Manitoulin Tennis Club meets twice a week, and welcomes players of all abilities to come out and play on Sunday mornings at 10am and/or Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm, both at the Manitoulin Secondary School courts.
Our words of wisdom for this week: Life is like lasagna. It’s all about what you pack between the layers. Have a great week!
