Did you hear about the rabbit that won the lottery? Overnight he became a million-hare. He used part of his winnings to buy a private hare-plane and flew to Hollywood. He’s quite the hoptimist and has dreams of starring in a big blockbuster movie. He’s hoping to get an audition for Hop-timus Prime.
We would like to extend many many congratulations to Jean and Jamie Ward who are celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary. When asked for a few words of wisdom about their long and happy relationship, Jean commented, “a wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance, and tenacity.” Jamie added, “The order varies for any given year, yo!”

Didn’t win the Team Fergmeijer sandhill crane spotting competition, but still are determined to bring home a prize? You’re in luck! The township is hosting an Ice Out competition! Guess when the ice will break free and float off Mudge Bay, and a prize could be in your future. Send your submission to dhillyard@billingstwp.ca before April 15th. Note that trying to melt the ice with a really big magnifying glass on a sunny day will disqualify you from the competition.

Happy birthday to Carol L who will be turning 29 (again!) very shortly. We don’t always feel our age, that is until we hear our favourite song from our youth playing in an elevator.
The best part of the yucky spring weather so far is all the extra time we have to craft up a storm for the library’s Fiber Arts Fundraiser. Check out the project suggestions on their website (bit.ly/fiberfundraiser) to find dozens of small, silly projects for all ability levels that can be whipped up in just a couple hours. Donate your finished products to the library for their summer market fundraising table.
The difference between a clown and a rabbit is that one is a little bit funny, and the other is a little fit bunny. Have a great week!
