Like many out there, Team Fergmeijer can find this time of year a bit of a drag. We have some friends who are endlessly optimistic and often tell us we should ‘seize the day!’ We, however, believe you should not seize the day. It may startle the day and cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite. Instead, we prefer to approach the day calmly, without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace. If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Best to back off and return to bed.
It’s the official start to the festive season in Billings with Christmas in Kagawong this weekend! Check out the Christmas market at the Park Centre and then head down to St. John’s Church for their annual baked goods table, craft table, and gift baskets PLUS homemade lasagna, as well as beef and turkey pot pies (9am-2pm). On second thought, if you want some of the meat pies, you should hit the church up first. Those pies go fast!
In addition, the library’s annual silent auction kicks off with bidding starting tomorrow (Thursday) at 9am and closing Sunday at 6pm. Visit FB.com/groups/libraryauction to bid!
The KGB (Kagawong Gobble Brigade) have been making their presence known in the village proper lately. It’s unclear if the turkeys are on a protection detail for local businesses or casing the joint while planning some fowl play.
Part-time Kagawongian Dave T and former Kagawongian Rachel M are both celebrating 29 fantastic years on the Earth. We hope your birthday is as fun and ridiculous as our jokes!
The Manitoulin Community Choir will be performing in Kagawong on Friday, November 28th at the Park Centre. Save the date! This is always a great concert with a lovely variety of music. You might even spy a Kagawongian or two in the chorus! The concert starts at 7:30pm, and tickets are $15.
Thank you to the Kagawong Cenotaph Board for organizing and sponsoring the Remembrance Day service at the Park Centre on Tuesday. Remembrance Day may have passed, but you can still check out the banners around Kagawong honouring local veterans. Lest we forget.

Do people who run marathons know they don’t have to? Have a great week!
