Due to a scheduling conflict, there will be no NDDC Downtown Forum this month. Typically scheduled the first Tuesday of the month, there will not be a Forum on March 2nd.
However, democracy, discussion of issues, and freedom of expression are always welcome in downtown Northfield. Consider participating in an ad hoc forum at one of downtown’s fine coffeehouses or breakfast establishments such as the Quality Bakery, the HideAway, the Quarterback Club, Caribou, Blue Monday, the Tavern, or Bittersweet.
All it takes to thoroughly explore a topic of interest is a few engaged citizens and lots of hot coffee.
