Middle Bass Island Kid’s Corner Dear Kids, You are Middle Bass’s favorite people. Some of you live here year round. Some of you live here in the summer. Some of you visit. This Web page is for you. First, we have a quick puzzle for you. Can you find the baby in the following picture?
If you'd like to create some fireworks over Put-in-Bay, you can click here.
We know two kids who had a favorite Middle Bass prank. They spent summers on Middle Bass in a house without a bathtub or shower. The only way to get clean was to go in the lake. They loved the lake. They were not allowed to go swimming after dinner. Sometimes, they wanted to go for a swim so badly they couldn’t wait for the next day. On their walks to get milk, they would find mud puddles and jump in them. They would get filthy. Then they would get to go swimming. That was their special prank. Do you have one too? What would you like to tell other children about Middle Bass? What do you do here? What do you like best? What do you like least? What should a kid expect on his or her first visit? If your Mom or Dad says it is OK, click on this link, and tell us your own story about Middle Bass, and we will publish it here. (If your email system doesn't get called up by clicking on that link, just send an email to jean@middlebass.org.) Sign it with your first name (or initial) only. No last names, please. Also list your age. Please make sure to get permission from your Mom or Dad first.
Message from Davis (14) on March 2, 2011 My name is Davis, I am 14. I have been visiting Middle Bass since I was 7 Months old! Middle Bass has changed over the years adding fun additions to the Island. We have a house on the Island and we are there most of the summer. Some of the most fun I had was with Arthur! Other fun things to do are swimming at Hazards and hanging out at J.F. Walleyes! Message from Chloe (14) on October 5, 2008 Hello, my name is Chloe. I am 14 years old and live in Gallatin Gateway, Montana ( outside Bozeman). My Grandparents live on Middle Bass Island. Before we moved to Montana we would visit Middle Bass a lot. I love it so much!! It is the Ohio equivalent of the Spanish Peaks. I miss visiting the lake and the Island. The people on the island are sooo friendly, from Eddie at the General store to Mary and my Grandma at My Aunt Irma's . It feels like a small town. I love getting spoiled at My Aunt Irma's, where my Grandma works. I love going to the beach or J.F Walleyes and hear my Grandpa sing and play his guitar. I love going out on the boat fishing and swimming with my family. Catching walleye and perch off the boat and watching the waves on lake is a beautiful sight. I haven't been to Middle Bass in about 3 years. I miss it so much. Especially the fire works on the 4th of July. I'm kind of a history nerd, so I love the history of the Islands. I love Lonz Winery, I think it is great that they are making it a State Park. I have a painting of Lonz hanging in my room and look at it every day and wish I could go back. I also love just exploring around the Island!! If I could visit any place I would defiantly go back to MBI!! ~Chloe

My Muse
The lake is my muse Looking at it lights the fuse To send ideas pouring through my brain Pounding through it like a train Leaving me feeling happy and full Even though I still feel the pull Of poetic poems surging through
Too Many
Big and bright Black and white Dumb and noisy I do declare There are seagulls every where From post to coast And all in between There are more than I’ve ever seen
Erie
Reflective as glass The lake slowly undulates Quietly rolling

note: When he was born 6 years ago, Arthur became the first child born to a
year-round resident in over 20 years:
Hi
My name is Arthur.
I live on Middle Bass year round and go to school at Put-In-Bay. I am in
the first grade and my sister is Cinnamon who is in 10th.
I love to snake hunt and fish.
In the summer I fish everyday off the docks. When i'm not fishing , I am snake
hunting or swimming. Last week I caught my first walleye threw the ice with my
dad.(His name is Art). My walleye weighed about 3 pounds. I also
have a dog, some fish, a firebelly salamander and a hamster. I want a
pet snake but my dad won't let me, he's a scaredy cat. I can't wait
for summer to see my Middle Bass friends. We have fun snake hunting and
turtle hunting!

I remember last year, my mom
and I went to Middle Bass on a nice sunny day. When we first stepped off the
ferry with our bikes, I noticed a sign advertising honey. Since we both have a
sweet tooth, we rode our bikes all over the island searching for this great
stuff. At the end of our day, we ended up at a little store that was selling
it. After I took the honey home, about a week later my dad threw it away. He
said,"We don't need two bottles of honey in this house. Luckily, the day
before I used almost half of it at dinner!
