Alas, I’m a week late with these photos from the Northfield Historical Society (NHS) Annual Meeting and Membership Ball and I didn’t take many as I’d hoped (too much socializing with my sweetie).
But there are a couple of keepers in the batch like the one of Chip DeMann with his registration table work crew and the one of NHS ED Hayes Scriven with his wife Jenny and his parents, Sue and Mark Scriven.
See my album of 13 photos, the large slideshow, or this small slideshow:

Our guest this week, Steve Engler, currently Vice President of the City of Northfield Economic Development Authority (EDA).
The conversation primarily dealt with the recent debate on the EDA about the role of the Economic Development Director, Jody Gunderson.
I’ve turned off comments here. Continue the discussion on the blog post titled EDA struggles with its by-laws, process, effectiveness, election of officers.
