HISTORIC KNIGHT HOUSE
A WELCOMING ENTRANCEMonday, 9:00 AM. 20 degrees, wind WNW, calm. The channel is calm, the sky overcast. We got 2” of new snow last night, and the barometer predicts more.
Bayfield is a party town at Christmas, and much of the gaiety is thanks to everybody’s neighbor, Mary Rice. Philanthropist, entrepreneur, and artist, Mary is responsible for many if not most of the good things that have been done in the community over the years. The party was held in Mary’s home, the historic Knight House, pictured above.
Her “trim a tree” party is much anticipated by friends and neighbors, and last night’s event was great fun. Mary provided the venue, the tree and ornaments and the libations, and everyone brought a dish to share. After the tree was trimmed and everyone well fed and watered, we all gathered as close to the piano as possible and sang Christmas carols. The evening ended with deserts and a really exceptional eggnog. Not to be outdone, even by herself, next Sunday will be her annual OOF (to be explained later) party for the community’s senior citizens. Party on, Mary!!
