Maggie Lee Trail Dedication

A new trail link was dedicated this morning behind Just Food Coop.  The riverside trail, linking the Mill Towns Trail to downtown Northfield, was dedicated to Maggie Lee, who cut the purple ribbon to officially open the trail.  Speakers at the event were Meg Otten, chair of the Friends of the Mill Towns Trail; Chip DeMann; Spencer Jones, the architect of the trail link; Mayor Mary Rossing; and Maggie Lee.  After the ribbon cutting, attendees were offered purple coneflowers from Mayor Rossing's garden, and invited to toss them into the river and make a wish.  

Just Food provided coffee and scones before the ceremony, and music was provided by brass from the Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra.  Coffee was offered after the ceremony on the new deck behind Butler's Steak and Ale.  Click "Read More" to view a short slideshow of the event.  For better quality photos, see the gallery in the Northfield News or Griff's set of photos on LocallyGrown.
