📣 THE BAYFIELD LIONS CLUB & BAYFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY LAUNCH "Penhale Carriage Barn Raiser" CAMPAIGN WITH ANONYMOUS DONOR MATCHING DONATIONS UP TO $15,000 🚗🐴
The Bayfield Lions Club and Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) are overjoyed to announce the launch of the ..."Penhale Carriage Barn Raiser," a community-driven fundraiser aimed at honoring the historical significance of Tom Penhale's Horse-Drawn Wagons & Carriages to our beloved village.
Our goal for the "Penhale Carriage Barn Raiser" Campaign is to construct a reproduction of a Bayfield two-cow barn, which will serve as a permanent home for an original Penhale Landau carriage.
We are incredibly fortunate to have received an act of tremendous generosity from an anonymous donor. This kind-hearted individual has pledged to match all Campaign donations made through July 1, up to a maximum of $15,000. This means that every contribution will have double the impact, allowing us to make an even greater difference in preserving Bayfield's rich heritage.
To celebrate the launch of this monumental campaign, we invite those interested in supporting this cause to join us at the Bayfield Town Hall on Wednesday, May 31, from 5-7 p.m. It will be an evening filled with joy and camaraderie, where we will have the opportunity to explore the captivating history of the Penhale Landau, a magnificent carriage crafted by Bayfield Wagon & Carriage Works. Furthermore, esteemed guests Rick and Carol Penhale, son and wife of the visionary Tom Penhale, will grace us with their presence, alongside respected local dignitaries.
We want to assure you that all fundraising costs for this project are borne by the Bayfield Lions Club, ensuring that every donated dollar will go towards the acquisition of the Carriage and the construction of the Barn.

About Tom Penhale
Tom Penhale, grew up on a farm in Huron County and learned all of his skills there as far as building his own equipment and repairing his own equipment, and that led him to create the carriages that made him famous. Penhale built some of the most beautiful horse-drawn carriages in North America, on his property on River Road including carriages for Disney, the Rose Bowl Parade Grand Marshall, Weston Foods, and Wells Fargo. For twenty years from the 1970s to the 1990s Tom Penhale built some of the most spectacular horse-drawn carriages in the world and this project is meant to honor his memory.
Anyone who would like to learn more and support the cause can attend and/or directly donate online at bayfieldcarriage.ca. Donations of $25 and over will receive a tax receipt. Large donators will be recognized at this event. More details to come about this momentous event.
