Baker Bay Bead Co.'s retail store sits off the beaten path of Shoreview Drive overlooking Dorena Lake in Oregon. Nestled among the tall green trees in the foothills of the Cascades there is a simple grey building with an unimposing front door that opens up to a senses fiesta. This mom and pop bead store has almost every color and bead you can imagine, a rainbow of color to complement the beauty outside.
The owners of Baker Bay Bead Co., Bud and Cecelia Heykamp, have been in business for more than 30 years. Their introduction into beads started as a hobby while finding a resource for the Boy Scouts. It expanded into Native American powwows when their youngest son had a special interest in the Native American culture and developed friendships with many of the Natives in the local area. In college, he joined the Native American Student Union were he learned to fancy dance and participated in many powwows. During these early days of dancing and bead selling, the owners learned first-hand the importance and significance of excellent quality beads for regalia.
