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:

Second annual Cafe Forum

I got this email from Bill Bleckwehl, Chair of the NAF Board.

On Wednesday, June 20, the Northfield Area Foundation (NAF) Board of Advisors hosted its second annual Cafe Forum at Park Ridge Apartments at the Three Links campus. A cross section of Northfield residents were invited to discuss what makes Northfield special and what would make the community better. The event was facilitated by Julie Dappen from MAP for Non Profits.

These photos were taken by NAF Board member Ray Cox who blogged the event. Click thumbnails to enlarge.

I stopped by the WINGS Oasis at Spring Creek Park and took these photos of some very hot and thirsty soccer players taking advantage of the new NAF drinking fountain. Click photos to enlarge. I’ve added these photos to the WINGS Oasis photo album.
