Monday, 8:30 AM. 13 degrees, wind S, calm at present. The sky is overcast and the barometer predicts snow, of which we received about 2” last night, just enough to make things pretty, if slippery, yesterday evening for the annual Seniors’ Christmas Party at the Wild Rice Restaurant about a mile south of town, on the lake. The party is hosted by owner Mary Rice, who used to hold it at her grand old home in Bayfield, until the affair got too large.The party is an extravaganza, completely free including cocktails, and first class all the way. I usually rebel at being a called a senior, but call me anything but late for this one. There must have been 200 in attendance, we sang carols, talked with friends, and Santa and Mrs. Santa arrived with gifts for all, and all had a very good night, including Mary, who loves a party. Mary is an entrepreneur, artist, philanthropist and backer of so many good efforts. It’s hard to imagine this event anywhere but Bayfield.
