It also brings new faces through your doors, boosts visibility for your brand, and positions your business as an engaged, welcoming community leader.

What a Night at Our Annual Banquet!


We had a wonderful time celebrating our business community at the Annual Chamber Banquet—an evening filled with connection, gratitude, and well-deserved recognition. It was truly special to gather and honor the people and businesses that make Northfield thrive.


Congratulations to Loon Liquor, our Business of the Year, Amy Peterson of Monarch / The Measuring Cup, our Businessperson of the Year, and Jonny Weaver of Jonny Weaver Storytelling, our Ambassador of the Year. Your passion, leadership, and commitment to our community do not go unnoticed.


Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the night so memorable and congratulations to Community Resource Bank for winning the most favorite decorated table! Click HERE to view photos.
