Last night’s Beaux Arts Ball, part of Northfield Arts Guild’s 50th Anniversary season, was spectacular. I ratcheted back on the number of photos I took, once I saw that David Henke from the Northfield News and Steve Engler, NAG board member, were also taking lots of photos. I’ll link to their albums when they get them posted. If you were there and have photos, add a comment below with a link.

Former Northfielder Nick Benson abandoned us for life in the big city a while ago. I’ve pretty much forgiven him. He’s become quite famous for his railroad-related photos. Here are…
Ross stopped by my corner office at the GBM yesterday to show me a new NDDC poster that’s a variation on the Be Local…Buy Local campaign: Be Local… Rock Local!…
We got this email today from Kelly Irvine at Carlson Capital Management. I’ve added some links.
Dear friends at Locally Grown – The 8th annual Northfield Jingle Bell Run/Walk was held on Saturday the 12th and was a great success. We had a super turn out and early numbers indicate that as a community we raised around $3,500 for the HealthFinders Collaborative. The 2009 planning committee sincerely thanks everyone who came out to run, walk or volunteer!
Librarian Kathy Ness dropped a not-so-subtle hint for me last week when I, um, tried to check out a book at the Northfield Public Library. Yes, you can now pay your library fines online via SELCO’s eCommerce service (login to your account via the Electronic Resources link).
What she didn’t tell me was that, depending on the amount that you owe, you get a customized message when it tells you how much you owe. Want to see mine?
The LG troika was reunited this week and, after the requisite fluff segment, we spent the rest of the show discussing the guest column by City of Northfield’s At-Large Councilor Rhonda Pownell that appeared in last weekend’s Nfld News titled Teamwork: Time to let go of fear, unforgiveness.
Now that Leif Knecht has copious amounts of idle time on his hands, he’s ramping up his efforts to create what he’s calling the Lower Heath Creek Bicycle Pedestrian Trail in Bridgewater Township.
As the map below shows, the trail would loop around Heath Creek south of Old Dutch Road and north of Armstrong Road, adjacent to the Gill-Prawer property that’s currently in annexation negotiations for the development of the West Armstrong Business Park:
As a bit of a fashion maven, I noticed that Bardwell Smith was wearing the same sweater at Just Food Co-op’s 5-year anniversary wingding last night that he wore for its grand opening in 2004.
I did a search of the photo archives at Carleton College and found a 1953 photo of him.
I stopped by Just Food Co-op last night for their owner-exclusive 5-year anniversary celebration. As a member/owner, I scored lots of free yummy goodies while taking a few photos. Note that they have a new logo and a revamped blog site.
