Our friend Alice had never seen the Northern Lights, so we were really excited to have her on the Island last week to see them. We’d been out on the shore for about 20 minutes when we noticed she didn’t seem very interested, so we had to ask her, “Do the Aurora boreyouAlice?”
Congratulations to the township on their new website! Head over to billingstwp.ca to see the glow up that has been done on the town's online hub. Check out the township’s latest monthly newsletter while you’re there, to keep on top of all the goings-on in Billings.

You’ve heard of elf on the shelf, but have you heard of the lark in the Park (Centre)? Christmas in Kagawong is coming up on November 15th & 16th! Mark the date in your calendar and get ready to explore all the Kagawong Christmas market has to offer on those two days.
Mark your calendars and get your bidding hand ready: the Billings Library will be holding their annual online silent auction from Thursday November 21st to Sunday November 24th. Last year’s auction had over 70 items up for bid and 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.
The Kagawong Gobble Brigade has been laying pretty low these days - understandable given the time of year we suppose, but we are still keeping an eye out for them just in case it ends up involving fowl play.
Congratulations to Sophie Edwards on her new release, Conversations with the Kagawong River! Join Sophie for an author reading and book launch, Saturday November 30th from 3:30-6pm at Split Rail in Gore Bay. There will be a Q&A, book signing, live music, snacks, and more!
Happy birthday wishes go out to Islanders Sue W and Ken F. Non-Islander Jef with one f is also celebrating his birthday. Jef, keep an eye out for the two gifts we sent you. We wrapped them in a weird, nubby fabric instead of smooth wrapping paper because even though we can’t be with you on your big day, we wanted you to feel our presents.
