First batch of popcorn this season was going to be made by volunteer; Karen Hoeg. Little did she know that our #1 FAN was waiting for months for the wagon to open. Karen welcomed him aboard to help with the first batch while his Dad and crowd watched with smiles!!!!! The 1918 Popcorn Wagon which was recently restored, made its way to RiverWalk Market Fair this Saturday. This iconic piece of Northfield history is run by FiftyNorth volunteers and the money raised goes to support programming for the older adults we serve.

“To know FiftyNorth is to love it”. If you are in the area of 50 years or better, stop in and tour. We think you’ll love it too.

Join us for our weekly Thursday Lunch meeting at the Northfield United Methodist Church.

Today Marlais Brand will present "FiftyNorth & A Community for Life."

This year FiftyNorth is celebrating 50 years of connection, inspiration and learning, and we're gearing up to pursue 50 more years of thriving.

I’ve been on the job for 3 very full months, but I'm in love with this organization. And who isn’t? To know FiftyNorth is to love it.

More than 2000 people in greater Northfield show up to connect, engage, learn and grow with FiftyNorth. Where else can you find a group of people more dedicated to being together? FiftyNorth is a community focused on living, right here, right now.

I'll share an update about FiftyNorth today, and The Community For Life we envision for Northfield tomorrow.

Rotary presentations are open to anyone. Walk-ins are welcome, though because lunch is provided we prefer advance notification.

Just email your name and the date you plan to attend to [email protected].

Thanks to the Northfield News for covering this special event at FiftyNorth.

When Kay Brown came back to Northfield some years ago, she quickly became isolated and felt lonely — until she came to FiftyNorth.
