For those of you new to the column, you might not realize that here at Team Fergmeijer, we pride ourselves on subtly inserting the odd bit of wordplay. The casual reader might be completely pun-aware of it, but the savvy reader is not punfamiliar with the odd quip or bon mot we sprinkle into the column (judiciously applied, of course). Even if at first you don’t really appreciate our humour, at some point you will pun-doubtably realize our punchant for wordplay has groan on you. Then, before you know it, the column isn’t a source of pun-ishment, but rather a pundle of joy you look forward to each week.
At time of writing, Billings Township is back in a partial burn ban. Campfires and fireworks are still allowed, but other fires are banned. Check the township website for the most up-to-date information.
We don’t know about you, but for us, last weekend was fully booked! Thank you to everyone who took part in the many events that were part of NorthWords and 4e’s Elemental Festival this weekend.
Not ones to sit idle, now that the festival of words has come to a close, the library board is pleased to announce the dates of this year’s silent auction: Thursday November 21st - Sunday November 24th. Last year’s auction had over 70 items up for bid. This year is shaping up to be just as impressive (can anyone say Ripley’s Aquarium tickets?!). All bidding is done via facebook.com/groups/libraryauction and with nearly 400 participants, it is always a lively event. If you would like to donate an item or service to the auction, or would just like more information, drop a line to billingsreads@gmail.com
Do you have a friend or family member you would like to honour (or embarrass) with a mention in the column? Birthday coming up? Anniversary? Birth announcement? 6 days chocolate free? Adopted a new chinchilla? Reach out to fergmeijer@gmail.com and we will make sure they feel extra special.
Did you know? You can catch up on all past Team Fergmeijer columns at http://teamfergmeijer.blogspot.com/. That’s right - all the punfoolery in one spot.
Never blame others for the road you are on. It’s your own asphalt. Have a great week!
