Graduates of the former Bayard Community School District are invited to a special all-school reunion this weekend. The city is closing Bayard’s Main Street from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday), with food trucks, live music, and more. The Bayard Hall of Pride will be open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. for visitors to enjoy a large display of school memorabilia, and the Bayard Busy Quilters are hosting a quilt show at the Bayard United Methodist Church sanctuary from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring their own lawn chairs to guarantee adequate seating. The Bayard school opened in 1882 and taught students through 1987 when the district merged with Coon Rapids.
