Bayfield rummage sale known as one of the largest and oldest in country Tara Ostner The Clinton News Record On Fri., July 11, Pioneer Park's 67th Annual Rum- mage Sale will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Bay- field Community Centre Arena. Second hand items including antiques, furniture and kitchenware will be on display and there will also be a silent auction. The rummage sale is one of the largest and oldest rummage sales in the coun- try. One of its main purposes throughout the years has always been to raise money for Pioneer Park in Bayfield, the only remaining undevel- oped lakefront property on the hill overlooking the Bay- field River and Lake Huron. In 1945, Lucy Woods Diehl, a life-long Bayfield resident, along with eight of her friends, both summer cottagers and permanent residents, purchased the parkland. It was Diehl's wish that the park be owned and operated by an association as opposed to an individual and today that association still exists. Today, the Pio- neer Park Association con- sists of volunteers and board members who are con- cerned with the preservation of the park just as Diehl was 69 years ago. The association's mission is to promote the health and enjoyment of the Bayfield area by owning and manag- ing Pioneer Park and other public parks without charge as well as to undertake other projects for the welfare of the community. The rummage sale is a free event and organizers encourage people to arrive early as line-ups form quickly.
