I took this photo at 8:25 am. The “no parking downtown after 1pm” signs are up. Winter Walk rules, baby!
On Tuesday, the first issue of Localmotive, the Northfield Area Chamber of Commerce’s new e-newsletter, arrived. Sign up for it here.

There’s an article in the Winter 2009 issue of Southern Minnesota Magazine titled A Winter Walk to Remember (PDF on Chamber’s site or viewable in Flash here) that’s all about Northfield’s Winter Walk.
Somehow, word of this got missed, so I’ll start at the end and work back to the beginning: There is an open house today (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wednesday) from 4:00-6:00pm at Community Resource Bank, 1605 Heritage Drive. The purpose of the open house is to get reaction to each day’s work on design/concept charrettes drafted by HKG with input from the steering committee. The charrettes are very much works in process. I’ll add details to this post as I can over the next couple of hours (I’m between meetings). But for now – please plan to attend the open house and give feedback on the concepts being considered.
Northfield’s 11th Annual Winter Walk is coming up this Thursday, Dec. 3. See the schedule of events (PDF) on the Northfield Area Chamber of Commerce site.
I’ve taken quite a few photos of the event since 2002. (Alas, I missed ‘07). See the albums for 2002, 03, 04, 05, 06 and 08. See the large slideshow for 2008 or this small slideshow:
I’m thrilled to see that the Be Local … Buy Local (BLBL) campaign initiated by the Northfield Area Chamber of Commerce and Northfield Downtown Development Corporation is not only web-savvy but recognizes the role that the local blogosphere plays in both the local economy and the information ecosystem. The HTML code they provide for BLBL images includes these explanations:
