It is ofishally salmon run season in Kagawong! Please don’t harass them or give them any carp as they are working hard to head upstream. We aren’t just moaning and whaling for the halibut with no porpoise. If their return trip upriver is made too difficult, the whole process for spawning a new generation will flounder. As they reach the end of their lives, the returning salmon can definitely use more friends than anemones.
At time of writing, the township burn ban has been lifted. Better to be safe than sorry - for the most updated status, check out the township website at billingstwp.ca.
We know there is no use crying over spilled brine, but Team Fergmeijer was a little disappointed that our suggestion to name the covered rink the “Township of Dillings PickleDome” didn’t make the shortlist of potential names. With the announcement of the top four names, voting is now open! Visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HSDCSV9 to have your say. Voting will close Tuesday, October 22 at 12noon.
Body Stories Dance is back at the Kagawong Park Centre this fall, with programming for dance enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Check out their website at https://www.bodystoriesdance.com/schedule for class times and fees.
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.
They say good things come in threes, but we at Team Fergmeijer are more inclined to find groups of four superior. Many good things come in fours: Ninja Turtles, the Golden Girls, the A-Team, the Ghostbusters, the Fantastic Four, ghosts in PacMan, horsemen of the apocalypse (okay, maybe we should have stopped while we were ahead). We would like to wish many happy returns to a fantastic foursome of Kagawongians: Keith, Kim, Dennis and Jamie
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? Matched every single sock to its correct partner on laundry day? 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.
Did you know that you can take your basic, everyday caramel popcorn, add some homemade maple syrup and nuts, and you will have some delicious and sappy poppycock? You’re welcome! Have a great week!
