Board Member CC Linstroth stated that the event is about community and encouraged the everyone to attend:
“The last Third Thursday was very exciting, so I want you to think about coming down, its free. The socializing is great. The physical activity walking around downtown Northfield, playing cornhole, walking into the stores … It’s an opportunity, yet another opportunity for us to be together not multi-generational, but intergenerational. So Third Thursday it’s just great.” – CC Linstroth, Board Member of the Friends of Downtown and Age Friendly Northfield, on KYMN In The Morning
