Northfield Historical Society
This November, a very special Northfield Historical Society event will take place-- an event that will transport you back to an era characterized by American prosperity and optimism, bath tub gin, the model T, $5.00 work day, the first transatlantic flight, Prohibition and the Charleston! Please join us on November 21...st at the Northfield Golf and Country Club for the Roaring 20's Themed Annual Auction Gala and Speakeasy in support of the Northfield Historical Society.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for our Roaring 20's Speakeasy themed gala! This is a not to be missed event! Be sure to come early to make sure you get one of the limited number of feather boas (red, black or white), beaded necklaces, headband with feather or fedora hats! Roaring 20's attire is encouraged and there is a costume contest! Start your Christmas shopping early and shop often, as there are some wonderful items up for bid on both the silent and live auctions. Imagine being the winning bidder on a ghost tour of St. Olaf College, or a Pub Crawl with Archer House Owner, Brett Reece, an original Arneson painting or a gourmet dinner for eight at the Archibald Inn in Dundas? One lucky bidder will have the honor of having a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus! Enjoy history with a private tour for 12 of the Northfield Historical Society complete with wine and appetizers! Two lucky bidders will also win a chance to see Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelsen, Sergio Garcia and others at the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin. Be sure to check out one of the many gift baskets available whether you're a dog lover, car aficionado, cook, baker, beer connoisseur or lover of fine wine!
We will be accepting sealed bids at the Northfield Historical Society until 4:00 p.m. on November 20th for the Arneson Painting.
This is the Northfield Historical Society’s only fundraiser. All funds raised go to continue our mission of preserving and interpreting Northfield's unique history!
Tickets for this “not to be missed” event are $25.00 until November 13th and $30.00 after the 13th and at the door. Tickets are available at the Northfield Historical Society (call or stop by) or at the door.
