Annual Meeting 10 Poster (2)

March 20, 2010, is the date for the NHS Annual Meeting/Membership Ball.  This year's event will be held at Carleton College's Great Hall.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m.   

The meeting will start shortly after that.  This year our Honorary Chairs are Elvin and Corrine Heiberg.  Elvin and Corrine are long time members of NHS and Elvin was on the founding Board of NHS.

There will be free Hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar.

The event is free, that's right FREE if your NHS membership is paid!  If you are not a member, not a big deal, you can sign up that night.

Shortly after 8:00 the fun really begins with some amazing jazz music by Christina Schweitz and Sweet Jazz.

If you need a ride, Ecotrans is offering FREE rides if you live in Northfield to and from the event!  THANK YOU Ecotrans for your continued support!

Finally, I would like to thank our sponsors, The First National Bank of Northfield and Carleton College.  Without their support we would not be able to bring you this event.
To RSVP today call us at 507-645-9268.

See you at the Ball!

Howard Hong

Submitted by Hayes Scriven on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 6:57pm.

I just learned that Howard Hong passed away on March 16, 2010.  Howard was a great friend of NHS and he will be greatly missed!  You can read  his full obit at the Benson and Langehough website.  A few years ago I had the privilege of sitting in on an oral history NHS conducted with Howard.  It was one of the best histories I have ever sat in on.  Here is the video.

HARVEST documentary

Submitted by Hayes Scriven on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 3:29pm.

harvest photo copy 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.
