A big Day of the Dead Celebration will be held again this year on Thursday, November 1 at 7 pm at the Northfield Armory. Last year, the event was a big success and attracted over 400 people. The celebration will feature many things: Community Ofrenda, People, Music, Great Food, Display of 104-Foot-Long Steamroller Print, Mexican Hot Chocolate, Sawdust Tapete, Pan de Muerto and more! Go here to see a short slideshow of all these things. In addition, some prints will be exhibited from a high school class, and results of a local ofrenda contest will also be displayed.
