As a part of a Quick Build Grant from the VT Department of Health for the Ridge+ River Routes Project, Northfield received 5 custom benches and 3 bike racks built by Flywheel Industrial Arts. They will be placed around the Common and in the Falls this week. Come test out the new benches and bike racks and have your photo taken for a community collage. From 10-noon on Saturday, visit the Common and we'll take your photo sitting on a new bench or with your bike and the new rack. We'd like to encourage an active Northfield so consider walking or biking if you are able.

Prizes! We'll be giving out Northfield T-shirts and tote bags on a first come, first serve basis until they are gone.

Please wear a mask and social distance while visiting.

If you'd prefer to take your own "benchie" picture, feel free. Just add it to the facebook discussion for the event or reply to this message on FPF if you'd like it to be included.
