Bayfield in Bloom
May 18 - June 17, 2007

Bayfield celebrates the glory of spring with a month-long celebration called "Bayfield in in Bloom". Our quaint harbor town welcomes you with the vibrancy of 14,000 new daffodils.

As Lake Superior and the countryside come to life, enjoy blooming wildflowers, apple blossoms, and creeks rushing with cool, clear water.

The land awakens to offer visitors a wonderful array of outdoor activities.

For the 5th year, Wisconsin Public Radio’s Larry Meiller brings his live broadcast of “Garden Talk” to Bayfield's Lakeside Pavilion. Join the studio audience for “Bayfield in Bloom's” kick-off event which also includes an “Ask the Experts” session, workshops, and more.

Wild Foods Weekend - May 18-19, 2007
ver wonder how someone can go for a simple hike and return with something from the wild to use in a salad or side dish? The Rittenhouse Inn thrives on this concept.

Spring seems to arrive overnight, but those who enjoy harvesting wild ingredients are keenly aware of weather changes and new plant growth at this time of year.

Join us to learn what kinds of “wild foods” can be harvested, and when and where to find them. An afternoon seminar offers helpful hints like cleaning and storing your goods; even recipes for creating your own dishes. Breakfast and dinner allow you to enjoy samples such as fiddlehead ferns, forest mushrooms, watercress, and more!
