Marilynn and I attended the Joseph Lee Heywood Distinguished Service Award dinner tonight at the Northfield American Legion Hall. It’s the “Kick-off” event for the annual Defeat of Jesse James Days Celebration in Northfield.
The Banquet honored Chip DeMann for him many years of service to the DDJJ Days committee and for his great work as an ambassador for Northfield, Dundas, and Rice county. Chip has been very involved in organizing the Defeat of Jesse James Days celebration and all of the local Historical societies, especially the Northfield Historical Society. Nobody knows the local history of Jesse Jame’s raid on the First National Bank of Northfield better than Chip.
Congratulations to Chip DeMann and his family. Well Done!
Of course, I also got to take a picture with the newly crowned DDJD Queen and her Princesses.
