There’s still time to participate in and sponsor this year’s Winter Walk on Thursday, December 11th!


As the event approaches, we want to remind businesses that your support is essential in keeping this beloved Northfield tradition magical. Sponsorships and participation not only make Winter Walk possible but also offer a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business to thousands of enthusiastic local community members and visitors.


Whether you’re located downtown or not, we’ll ensure you have great visibility during one of the most festive nights of the year. We’re also seeking volunteers—bringing your team to help before, during, or after the event is a fun and meaningful way to engage with the community.


Thank you for considering this chance to support and be part of Northfield’s 27th Annual Winter Walk!


Give us a call at 507-645-5604 or email rachel@northfieldchamber.com to participate!

Paid Leave Premiums


How do I split premiums on the notice? 


When you fill out this notice, you will be asked how you plan to split the Paid Leave premium between employer and employee. Regardless of the size of your organization, you can deduct a maximum of .44% of an employee's wages to fund their portion of the premium. This amount broken down is 0.305% for medical leave and 0.135% for family leave.

Holiday Passport


Shop local and get rewarded this holiday season — when you spend $485 at any Chamber member business, you’ll have a chance to win exciting prizes!


There’s nothing businesses need to do — customers simply collect their receipts from local Chamber businesses and bring them to the Northfield Chamber office to be entered. You can join the fun too! Click HERE to download your Holiday Passport, start shopping small, and support our local community. The passport program runs through December 12th, so start collecting those receipts this weekend!
