is hosting its Third Annual Old-fashioned Raspberry Shortcake Social at
the Bayfield Heritage Center, Saturday, August 11, 11 AM ‘til the
shortcakes run out. The cost is $5.00 and all the proceeds will benefit
the Bayfield Heritage Association.
Irene
and Dick Radke host the Old-Fashioned Raspberry Social as a benefit for
BHA. They report that they have a bumper crop of berries that they
want to share with the community in this way. Irene is baking
shortbread—none of that spongy, modern “stuff”-- and the shortcakes will
be served with real whipped cream.
Radkes are serving the
Raspberry Social during regular Museum hours (slightly extended on this
day for the lunch crowd). The raspberry shortcakes will be served on
the porch of the Bayfield Heritage Center along with lemonade or coffee
and can be enjoyed there or on the lawn before people take advantage of
the opportunity to tour the museum exhibits.
