From 1996-2004, in various capacities with Northfield.org, Locally Grown co-host Griff Wigley moderated a series of time-limited, online community forums that featured panels, interviews, and group discussion with community leaders about issues relevant to local citizens.
At times, NCO/Northfield.org teamed up with the Northfield News, KYMN Radio, the City of Northfield, the League of Women Voters Northfield, NTV, and other local organizations to host these time-limited events. This was an effective way for citizens to become more informed about an issue through simultaneous channels: the Internet, newspaper, radio, TV, and F2F (face-to-face).
