Bayfield has been home to a Country Flea Market for
several decades. In more recent years, it has found a
new home in Agriculture Park; a home that offers
plenty of parking as well as some green space for
children to run carefree. The Bayfield Agricultural
Society provides this home for the market that is
open on Sundays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. (maybe a
little longer depending on the crowds).

some to walk others to run. People took to wheels
of all sorts from cycles built for two to roller
blades.
The weather couldn't have been nicer for the
event with warm temperatures and sunny skies.
Prizes were awarded in each category in four
different age groups, plus prizes were also
awarded to those who demonstrated a special
effort. Various local merchants, personal
businesses and other individual sponsors
generously donated prizes.

Sam Dupuis was a close second at crossing the finish line

There was a tremendous turn -out of cyclists for the 30th annual Pioneer Park Fun Run.
Jenny Allan, Luke Shanahan and their son, Weylin, took part in the cycling event this year. This was quite ar
impressive feat for Jenny as she is currently expecting the newest member of their family any moment now!
Riders exhibited their own style as they crossed the finish
line after completing the 5 KM route.
Ray Bauer celebrated the finish of his cycle about

John Erb and Sandy Scotchmer exhibited a little bit of
competitiveness when it came to which walker was going
to cross the finish line first.

Today you are reading the 370th weekly issue of the Bayfield Breeze. I thank you for scrolling all the way down to the bottom to
see what I have to say. We are brought to your email inbox each week because a number of people advertise their service or
business throughout the issue. I encourage you to click on their advertisements and tour their websites to see what they are all

Our advertisers offer us amazing support ... we often have people wanting to join our team of sponsors but very rarely do we
have spots open, but right now, today, we do. So if you would like to be a part of the Bayfield Breeze by becoming an advertiser
