5:00-10:00 Mt. Ashwabay WinterBASH!
Following the DASH, every entrant gets a shiny mug to fill with beverages(adult and otherwise), and we'll have chili cheese dogs from the Washburn IGA to fill your tank back up, so you can rock out to the WinterBASH. This year, WinterBASH features live music in the barn, including local headliner Lords of Baltimore, local beer from South Shore Brewery, and walk up tubing in front of the giant bonfire . JD BASS is bringing the PA, so you know it will sound good. We'll again have a small luminary lighted loop if you want to escape from the party and relax with a quick ski or snowshoe. We'll even have sleigh rides. WinterBASH is free, but a $5 suggested donation/person is welcome, as the proceeds support Mt. Ashwabay. It's all part of the Bayfield Winter Festival.
