There was lots of fun on Millyard day, August 18, down at the Bear River Millyard Recreation. While there were no takers for the mud race, there was still a great time to be had.
There used to be a number of sawmills in Bear River and Bob Benson has put together a great display with the names of those who worked in the mills and some great photos of former glory. Also on display is a tribute to Bill Morine, fisherman extrordinaire of Bear River.
It doesn’t have to be Millyard day to drop down and enjoy some social time and great buys. the Millyard Market is open on Saturdays from 10 to 3.
Here are some of the things you will find…
- Bill Morine’s fishing fly

- Enjoying the day!
