My Parents—I was born in Durango and raised in Bayfield in early 70’s What is your fondest memory of Bayfield since you have been here? The 4th July parades used to go around down town twice. My dad was apart of the fire department & I would get to ride on the top of the fire truck in the parade and set on the top of the fire truck in the bottom of Joe Stephenson Park behind the rodeo arena to watch the fire works being set off. Do you have a historical memory or something special that has happened in Bayfield? In the mid 80’s Pine River Valley Bank was robbed by 3 local high school students and then later the same boys kidnapped the bank president’s son. Back in 1972 the bank was on Mill Street and later it housed the Library, Town Hall and bus station and the Town Clerk (LaVina Mars) had to put together trips for people on the bus. There was stories and articles about the Ku Klux Klan and people killing people over water and if you were anything other than white you were ran out of town, sometimes even burn out and sometimes even their houses were burned down. Remembered the roads were dirt until mid 80’s. Also in the mid 80’s for several years they had the Grande Prix which was a car race against time; they started on Mill Street and went around the down town area. �Brenda Jones - Senior Center Coordinator I was born in Durango and raised in Bayfield as an only child.
