The Outlaw Run Motorcycle Rally is this Saturday August 22.  Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. with a bank raid around 10:00 a.m.  After the raid we head out on the escape trail of the James-Younger Gang.  Our first stop will be in Eysian at the Thirsty Beaver for lunch.  We will then head off to Lexington for some fun and games at The Hideaway.  Our next stop will be in Millersburg at Boonies for some horseshoe fun.  We will then head back to Northfield for the prize drawing and give-aways at the Reub-N-Stein.  After the prize drawing there will be LIVE music by the The Bohemian Duo!

To register and for more information go to the Outlaw Run website.

If you are in downtown this weekend for Art Swirl, stop by the Northfield Historical Society and check out our exhibit on buttons and pins from Northfield's past.  The exhibit is titled "Buttons, Buttons, We've Got the Buttons" and  looks at the history of the button.  There are over 300 buttons and 2,000 pins on display.  All of the buttons and pins are from the NHS collection. 

The safe that was on display in the restored First National Bank site has been moved into the vault, thanks to former NHS Board member Chip DeMann and his team of Gus and Molly DeMann.  This move gives the restored bank site a more authentic look and feel.  See the slide show below for photos of the safe being moved.
