Bet your autumn dollar, fall is one of our favourite seasons! It’s definitely in our top four. Fall is a great time to spruce things up around the house. We started by putting some mums out on our steps, then branched out to corn stalks. Next thing we know our houses are fully decked out with 8-foot tall inflatable pumpkins. Some might think they are silly seasonal decorations, but we say, gourd big or go home.
Old Mill Road residents can finally take the direct route to the post office again. That’s right, the bridge work is complete and the bridge is open to traffic again! Although, for those walking, the slight detour through the river trail and across the pedestrian bridge is still a good option.
Stock up for winter - the library is holding a fall puzzle swap on Saturday October 19th. Come by the Billings library from 10-1pm and trade in your used jigsaws for new-to-you puzzles.
Happy birthday to Claire T who is celebrating her big day later this week. Always remember that the key to staying young is make-up. Make-up an age and stick with it!
Voting sure is a poll lot of fun! Don’t miss your chance to vote on the name of the covered rink in Kagawong. Visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HSDCSV9 to have your say. Voting will close Tuesday, October 22 at 12 noon.
You’ve heard of elf on the shelf, but have you heard of the spender 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.
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.
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.
Not to get sappy on you or anything (Team Fergmeijer isn’t normally acorny bunch), but we appreciate how poplar our readers make us feel. Have a great week!
