This Thursday, February 25, at the Northfield High School Auditorium HARVEST, a documentary film by Paul Krause will premiere.

The film chronicles the creation of Ray Jacobson’s sculpture of the same title. From the initial drawings to the final installation and dedication on the Cannon Riverfront, the documentary reveals the story of every step required to craft the three thousand pound, bronze sculpture.

The screen production shows how the artist’s passion and vision are complemented by the work of highly-skilled art foundry staff and by the commitment and support of the entire Northfield community.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. with the film showing at 7:30, the event is free and open to the public.

Join Jeff Sauve, editor of Pioneer Women: Voices of Northfield’s Frontier (1856-1876), on Thursday, Feb. 18, 6-7:30 p.m. at Northfield Historical Society as he explains how his initial interest ignited the idea to publish on this specific topic. Sauve will explore the process of research and writing, particularly shaping the material for this book. The event free and open to the public. No reservations required. Copies of Pioneer Women will be available for purchase. Refreshments will be served.  For more information please call us at 507-645-9268 or email us.

Thanks to the new DJJD Secretary, Jessica Green, we have 114 more photos of our trip to Rapid City.
