The funds were generated during the fourth quarter (October-December 2007) through the Steamworks program “Wolverine Wednesdays.” Each Wednesday, Steamworks-Bayfield sets aside 3 percent of total sales for the day, which, at the end of the quarter is tallied and donated to a targeted Bayfield High School program. Since the program’s launch in the second quarter of 2007, more than $3600 has been given to Bayfield youth. Previous recipients have been Bayfield’s Fall Athletics program and Theatre Troupe.

            “We’re extremely pleased with the growth of this program and the support from the community,” said Brian McEachron, Steamworks director of marketing and sales. “The three months of Wednesday’s sales this first quarter of 08 is going to support the Bayfield Student Council.”

The name Wolverine Wednesdays is derived from the mascot for Bayfield High School – the students are “The Wolverines.” Coincidentally, Steamworks Bayfield is also located at

            “Wednesdays continue to be very strong at the Bayfield pub,” added McEachron. “It’s terrific see everyone coming out to Steamworks for a great meal and great beer for a good cause.”
