Beginning at 12:00pm and ending at 5:00pm, on Saturday September 12th, the Village of Bayside will once again hold our village picnic.  Everyone is welcome to join in the annual festivities.  Ellsworth Park, located at 600 E. Ellsworth Lane in Bayside, will once again be the sight for a variety of activities.

Not only will great food and drinks be served, several events will keep both young and not very young entertained.  "Bayside Best" competition will feature our increasingly popular singing contest.  More music will be provided by DJ Brian Redd.

On hand will be North Shore Fire Department, North Shore Library, US Coast Guard and an informational booth.  Raffles and games as always will be featured as well.  Parking will be permitted at Bayside Middle School, 601 E. Ellsworth and at the South parking lot of the Village Hall, 9075 N. Regent Road.  Ellsworth Lane will be closed near the park entrance to allow for a safe route for the fire department vehicles.  The picnic is held rain or shine. 

The Lakefront Marathon will be on Sunday, October 4, 2009. The race will begin at the Grafton High School at 8:00 AM.

The Course:The Lakefront Marathon is a USAT&F Certified Course (WI-06092-JW) that starts in front of Grafton High School on Hwy. 60 (about one mile west of I-43). This flat and scenic point-to-point course travels south through rural countryside, quiet northshore neighborhoods and finishes along the shores of Lake Michigan north of the Milwaukee Art Museum at Veterans Park. The Lakefront Marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifying course (and if you qualify at Lakefront you would be eligible to use that time for the next two runnings of the Boston Marathon).
