Team Fergmeijer knows the pain of adulting. Last week one of us had our oven stop working just before family was coming for a visit. Thankfully, the repair man arrived right away but he told us it looked like the oven stopped working because of a bad transformer. We obviously had to correct him that, actually, those are called Decepticons, but at least he got the oven working again.
We would like to remind our faithful readers that due to printing schedules, Team Fergmeijer has to submit these columns a week in advance. With that in mind, Billings Library would like to thank everyone who came out for the library beach movie last weekend! Unless it got postponed due to weather. In which case, check out the library’s Facebook page (FB.com/KagawongLibrary) for the rain date!

It may be August, but there’s still lots of market left. Don’t miss out - visit the largest market on the island Wednesdays from 10am-3pm at the Kagawong Park Centre (and pickledome, and cabanas, and pop-up tents… did we mention it’s the largest market on the island?).

Happy birthday to Lisa H, Dane T, and Bonnie F who are all celebrating their 29th birthdays! On your big day, we hope you really live it up. In other words: party now, nap later! Though at your age, napping may be what you consider a really good time. No judgement.
