Old-Fashioned Raspberry Shortcake Social

It’s summertime and the berries are ripening! Bayfield Heritage Association 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.
