Among the recipients of 2007 grants was the Northfield Community Band:

$1,500 will pay for guest musicians and to rent the city’s showmobile for four summer concerts in downtown Northfield. Many local musicians will share their talents while others enjoy the music, shop at the local businesses and see friends and neighbors.

Here are photo slideshows from the band’s June 12 and June 26 performances on Bridge Square:
