A message from Barb Evans, architectural walking tour guide: "Saturday and Sunday I'll be leading walking tours of Northfield's Historic Downtown. Meet me in Bridge Square at 2:00 for the tour. Tours last about 90 minutes with little or no areas for sitting. We will try to find some shade, but expect to be in the sun for much of that time. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your own water. Northfield's Historic Downtown buildings have stories to tell. Hear those stories and look at architectural features with me this weekend."![]()

Tour price is $10 per person.
Save the date for Jeff Sauve's book launch, July 15. NHS is co-hosting the party with FiftyNorth Senior Center!

Do you recognize these two?? Fran and Tallie Hall are featured by Curt Brown in this Sunday's Star Tribune. Oh, and so is the cool exhibit at NHS about their trip!! If you haven't seen the exhibit yet, what are you waiting for??
We're in the process of finalizing our sponsorships for this year's Outlaw Run and we can't say enough about those who have joined us so far! Today's shout out goes to our Presenting Sponsors: Merchants Bank and Millersberg Construction for the Starting Line and Aldi, Inc. for the Finish Line and Food Court. THANK YOU!!!
