The afternoon, organized by the Friends of the Bayfield Library (FOBL), was highlighted by an original play featuring Judy Keightley, Judith Higgs, Jim Fergusson and young performers, Caleb Maaskant, Siobhan and Aidhan Kleuskens. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek521ssue233/tabid/647/Default.aspx 7/13 5/31/2019 Week 52 Issue 233 Christmas Hour for Children was hosted by the Friends of the Bayfield Library on the afternoon of Dec. 14 at the new library. Caleb Maaskant performed in the play that was held as part of the activities. His character received an extra special gift from Santa. Aidhan Kleuskens kept the other actors on their toes during the play held as part of Christmas Hour for Children, including, his sister, Siobhan. Following the performance those in attendance were invited to the library meeting room for a crafting time — decorating a giving bag and Christmas tree with foam stickers were among the activities as well as making a paper snowflake. The children's faces brightened with delight after they saw what a few simple snips with the scissors could create! And of course the opportunity to ice a large gingerbread cookie and "glue" all kinds of yummy treats on it was a very popular part of the afternoon. Travis Saunders (left) and Powell Maaskant watched intently as the story unfolded. An exciting activity was making paper snowflakes. Travis Saunders was delighted by the finished snowflake that he and his Dad, Tim, worked so hard on together. Jailyn Aubin and her Nana, Joanne Thatcher, seemed to enjoy the play. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek521ssue233/tabid/647/Default.aspx 8/13 5/31/2019 Week 52 Issue 233 Ciara and Aliyia Chisholm were delighted to see Santa Claus when he came out from behind the stacks of books at the library on Saturday afternoon.

It was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives and even before that holiday was over we expressed a desire to return there if the opportunity afforded itself but the next time would be for longer. As luck would have it we are leaving on Jan. 5 to go to visit a different part of the country but this time for three weeks. Anyone who has ever gone on vacation knows there is a whole lot of work to do to prepare for the trip and an equal measure of work waiting when one returns.
