There were also a record number of entries with 19 soups to sample. In its third year, Soups On hosted by the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) attracted record numbers of both entrants and hungry customers. There were nineteen soups entered to compete in the event, held on the afternoon of Feb. 17 at the Bayfield Town Hall. Four local churches, nine community groups, as well as six local restaurants took part. Bayfield's own, Richard Fitoussi, once again officiated as the judge for the "Chefs Award". This year only the restaurants were in competition for the award. After tasting all 19 soups in a blind tasting and marking them for several factors, he awarded the first prize, for the third year running, to The Little Inn of Bayfield, for their "inspired" interpretation of Jerusalem Artichoke soup. Fitoussi awarded equal second place to Our Thai Restaurant, with their Tom Kah Gai soup, and The Docks with their entry of Potato, Beer, Bacon and Herbs soup. The Bayfield Blue Flag committee was represented by Arlene Parker and Nellie Evans (right) who offered samples of their Cheese soup. Fitoussi also marked the church/community groups' offerings and although their award was separately decided by popular vote he placed Knox Presbyterian Church first overall with the Bayfield Historical Society second and in a three-way tie for third were the Bayfield Mews, the Bayfield Valley Trail Association and the Photography Club of Bayfield. Ballots were collected for the "People's Choice Award". This year only the church and community groups competed for this honor.

I knew she had been very sick. I knew she had endured far more and fought far harder than any young woman of 24 years should ever have to. But still the hearing of her passing stole my breath away. I had the pleasure to get to know Kate Merner the summer before she was diagnosed with cancer when she became a second - generation employee at the Bayfield Village Inn, her mom having worked for my husband in the first year or so after he started the business. That didn't make him feel old at all and they shared the humor in it. We have had lots of students come and go over the summers and we bond for a short time — they all leave an impression and we hope they go off to do great things.

It is very fitting that an award is being established in her honor. People who wish to can donate to the Katelyn Merner Memorial Award — honoring a graduating student representing inspiration, determination, and a love for life.
