Many village residents have similar stories — the community has some sort of gravitational pull — maybe the lakeside cliff is magnetic? From Canada Day to Thanksgiving this is probably when the attraction is the strongest and it is when our community really shines. For Canada Day we ease into the calendar slowly with a beef barbecue, bike rodeo, book sale and outdoor movies. Then the next weekend the summer schedule really gets rolling. We've got the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale, Play Day, Firemen's Breakfast and Vettefest in the works and those are but the highlights. I guess what I like about Bayfield is despite the hectic pace we sometimes set for ourselves you can always go to the nearest ice cream stand, order a double dipped cone and partake in the icy treat as you stroll slowly along tree lined streets sharing summer dreams with a friend or two. But beware that old magnetic pull. It is sure to draw you to Pioneer Park to watch the sunset. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
