A Run Through the Orchards
The 27th Annual Apple Blossom Run on May 17th supports the Bayfield Carnegie Library
One of the most beautiful sights in Bayfield is the vision of Apple Blossoms throughout the hills and valleys of Bayfield's orchards, and one of the best ways to see all of these beautiful blossoms is to participate in the Annual Apple Blossom Run.
Timed races wind through the scenic orchard area. All three races begin at the Bayfield Apple Company gazebo, on the corner of County J and Betzold Road. The two mile fun run ends at the gazebo, and the 10K walk/run end at the Bayfield Carnegie Library.
The two mile walk begins at 9am and the 10K walk/run begin at 9:30am. Registration fees start at $10 for children, $15 for adults and $35 for families. Registration forms can be downloaded at www.bayfield.orgFor more information on this event, contact the Bayfield Carnegie Library at (715) 779-3953.
