Set phasers to pun! September 8th was Star Trek Day and Team Fergmeijer can’t help but reverse polarity and celebrate. We know the puns are a bit out there this week, but what can we say, we have a one Trek mind. When it comes to puns, we’ve always been of the enterprising sort. We do have to be careful though that our spicier puns don’t get us into any tribble.
A very happy birthday goes out to Jamie W and Kim B, both of whom are turning 29. Don’t think you are fooling anyone when you are talking about getting lit on your birthday. Everyone knows you are just referring to the cake.
A belated bon voyage to Mike as he heads to the land of the badger to pursue his education. The town is a little less wormy without you.
Team Fergmeijer would like to send heartfelt get-well-soon wishes to Kagawongians Sadie and Cali. We know you’ll both be up to your usual shenanigans in no time.
TONIGHT! Come by the Kagawong Park Centre Wednesday, September 11 at 8pm for a concert by Juno-nominated Canadian Chamber Choir, featuring Sherryl Sewepagaham. This special concert is part of the choir’s Where Waters Meet CD release tour, and will feature 20 professional singers from across the country. Tickets are $30 and are available at the door. Don’t miss this incredible performance!
The Wednesday Kagawong markets may be done for the year, but the next evening market is right around the corner! Saturday, September 14th, come on out to the covered rink in Kagawong from 3:30pm to 8:30pm to check out the amazing vendors and support local!
Flutter on into Kagawong Friday, September 20th and Saturday, September 21st - NorthWords and 4e’s Elemental Festival are partnering to bring an amazing weekend of fun for the whole family! Friday starts with workshops in the afternoon for adults and kids, and in the evening the popular ‘Book & Brew’ is back at Split Rail brewery in Gore Bay. Enjoy live music, complimentary snacks, purchase a drink (including non-alcoholic options), and get up close and personal with featured authors Coltrane Seesequasis, Mike Strobel, and poet Vera Constantineau. Book & Brew tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased at Billings Library or at the door.
Carol Pasternak, the “Monarch Crusader”, is this year’s festival keynote speaker (Saturday 1pm). She has authored multiple books on the iconic local pollinators. Saturday also has workshops galore with family-friendly sessions in the morning (including children’s author Sahar Golshan), and author-led writing workshops for adults in the afternoon. Saturday evening, come out to experience Melody Johnson’s dramatic reading of her fantastic show, “Person of Interest” (admission by donation).

Pre-registration for workshops is recommended.
The library has officially returned to its regular ‘winter’ hours (Tues & Thurs 4-7pm; Sat 10-1pm). The landfill continues with its summer hours until the end of October (Tues & Thurs 2-6pm; Sat & Sun 10am-4pm).
Ever wonder why Star Trek was so successful? We think it was because it had good Genes. Have a great week!
