🧡🦃 WHAT A WEEKEND, NORTHFIELD! 🦃🧡

The 2026 Minnesota Governor’s Pheasant Hunting Opener was a HUGE success, and we couldn't be more proud of our community!

We painted our town ORANGE, rolled out the welcome mat, and showed our visitors what makes Northfield such a special place!

From celebrating our outdoor heritage to filling downtown with music, laughter, and community spirit, it was truly a weekend to remember!

A HUGE THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors, volunteers, businesses, community partners, and everyone who helped make this event possible. Northfield, you showed up in a BIG way! 🧡

📸 This is just a sneak peek! Stay tuned as we share more highlights, photos, videos, and special moments from an unforgettable weekend!
