While in her residency she met her husband, a Northfield public school art teacher, David Kamis.

Kamis was a hog farmer as well as an artist and a perfect match for Henriksen who says her fondest memories are of the Iowa family farms she grew up in. Henriksen brought her love of independent farming into her art and her art into social activism to support Minnesota family farmers. Among Henriksen’s most memorable events was the creation of a traveling exhibit titled “A Tribute to Family Farms.” Its final stop was at the Arts Guild.

Episode 70: Water Signs or Mercury Rising

Starring: Gill and Finley

Paid Advertisement

by Sherri Faye © 2014

Fishing, painting and other stories... After a very long stretch of hankerin’ for our fine scaled friends, I think I’ve had my fill of fish this year!

I recently got to spend time up at my brother’s cabin for some much needed R & R. I didn’t throw a line in the water on this trip. Though I do enjoy the art of fishing - even the simple act of watching the bobber bob on gentle waves is peaceful, calming, and meditative. This time I left all of the fishing up to my nephews, who did reel in some sunnies. While they fished, I painted watercolors of the lake. I also taught ‘Watercolor 101’, guiding my sister-in-law and my nephew’s girlfriend through the basics of watercolor painting techniques. I am most at peace immersed in art. Painting. Drawing. Doodling.

Sketching. Writing. Creating. I find that I enjoy teaching, and nurturing creativity in others. There is something deeply and truly rewarding in seeing another person become one with the brush.

You will see, in the future I will live by my watercolors. ― Winslow Homer

Duo brings generations of Finnish music

Northfield loves Nordic music.

Local groups Multe (Sept. 12, 6:45pm at the Contented Cow) and Northern Roots Session (Mondays, 7:30pm at the Contented Cow) play traditional and contemporary fare from the Nordic countries. Amy Boxrud and Mary Klockman (Northern Roots Session), and Jon Bjork (Multe) come from Norwegian heritage and all speak Norwegian.

Paul Niemisto (Northern Roots Session, the Finnish American brass band Ameriikan Poijat and low brass professor at St. Olaf College) comes from Finnish stock through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Niemisto has now helped bring legendary Finnish cousins Arto (fiddle) and Antti (guitar) Järvelä to St. Olaf College’s Urness Recital Hall on Sunday, Sept. 28, 7:30pm (preceded by a fiddling workshop at 2:30pm). Their Nordic roots are generations deep. Järvelä fiddlers have been in the front line of weddings Voted Best Take-Out two years in a row by the Entertainment Guide readers!

Even further back, on grandma Martta’s side, Juo Wirkkala had to pay a fine of five Finnish marks for the crime of playing fiddle in a dance one Sunday evening in 1726.

There will be no fine on the 28th of September – just amazing generations-infused Finnish fare. Don’t miss it.

Jesse James and Northfield in the Movies/Book Signing and Presentation by Johnny D. Boggs • 6:30pm

Northfield Historical Society Johnny D. Boggs, author of more than 40 western books and a sixtime Western Writers of America Spur Award-winner, will discuss how Jesse James and Northfield have been portrayed in movies over the years. Boggs will base the presentation on his book, Jesse James and the Movies, which analyzes the 40-plus motion pictures that have been produced about the Missouri outlaw – from the silent era to today. Among the films and actors that will be covered are Jesse James (1939) with Tyrone Power, Kansas Raiders (1950) with Audie Murphy, The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid (1972) with Robert Duvall, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) with Brad Pitt. Boggs’ discussion will compare each movie with the facts. In 2007 Boggs published Northfield, which took the unique approach of shifting perspectives from various one first-person accounts to another, allowing outlaws and townsfolk to describe events leading up to and following the 1876 robbery attempt. Many of Boggs’ titles will be available for purchase at the event.

HAPPENINGS Saturday, September 6, continued

Farewell Milwaukee • 9-11pm

Bernie King & the Guilty Pleasures • 8pm

The Tavern Lounge, Northfield A not-to-be-missed, highenergy band that blends blues, rock and bluegrass into a sound that some have called “bluesgrass.” King’s songs tell tales of worn souls traveling through a landscape of sin and redemption. The four-piece acoustic group delivers delightful tunes with a signature rhythmic swing. Jessica Paxton of KYMN’s All-Wheel Drive gives this gig “Five Stars!” More at reverbnation.com/berniekingtheguiltypleasures.

Sweet and inventive, Farewell Milwaukee’s sound is informed by artists from the ’60s and ’70s but is never beholden to them. Instead the band bends those influences into new shapes and sounds. On Can’t Please, You Can’t Please Me they work hard to make it look easy, establishing a casual country-rock majesty on the album’s very first notes. This group has been a mainstay on the Minneapolis scene since 2008, with two albums and countless live shows under their belt.

Stagecoach • 9pm

Gospel Gossip • 11pm-12am

Red Fox Tavern, Lakeville Jon Manners • 9pm

Pub 31, Faribault Manners plays blues-edged roots-rock with intricate and percussive guitar-work. He sounds like John Hiatt, without that dose of country. Do you like Eric Bibb, John Martyn and Tom Waits? This is the vein that Manners mines.

The Contented Cow, Northfield

The Contented Cow, Northfield Voted Best Band by City Pages – “Drawing an old-soul pop awareness they must have accrued in their past lives, these wunderkinds have made a high-wattage debut that harkens to the finer, headier days when brainiacs like the Velvet Underground and New Order were called party music.”

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 Defeat of Jesse James Days

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25

Jazz Central All-Stars • 7:30pm

Presentation: The Atlanta Campaign • 6:30pm

Northfield Historical Society Civil War enthusiast and amateur historian Jim Stark will discuss General Grant’s 1864 Grand Campaign to conquer the South.

Stark, a former president of the Northfield and Rice County historical societies, will discuss General Grant’s campaign and how it came to complete failure. Grant’s objective, the destruction of General Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, got bogged down with huge losses. Northern morale was declining and the likelihood of President Lincoln’s reelection was becoming less likely every day.

Lincoln and the North now looked upon General William T. Sherman for the deliverance and the capture of Atlanta. Jefferson Davis and the Southern command hoped to drag out the war and deny Lincoln the election, and perhaps win at the ballot box what it was unable to win on the battlefield. Hanging in the balance – the fate of two nations. Free and open to the public.

Arto & Antti Järvela: Fiddle Workshop (2:30pm) and ­Concert (7pm)

St. Olaf, Northfield Finnish folk fiddling legends tour the US. Cousins Arto and Antti Järvelä are members of the famous Järvelä music family of Kaustinen, Finland. Järvelä fiddlers have been fiddling in the front line of weddings in Ostrobothnia (on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Bothnia, the northernmost arm of the Baltic Sea) for generations, as far back as Juho Järvelä (1794-1837). A long heritage also comes from grandma Martta’s (born Kentala) side. The first non-Järvelä fiddler was Juho Wirkkala, who had to pay a fine of five Finnish marks for the crime of playing fiddle in a dance one Sunday evening in 1726.

“Although grounded in the music with which they grew up, you can see here how they’ve each grown to embrace and embellish on everything musical around them. Schottische. Waltz. Polska. The result is far-reaching, soulful and intimate. Each piece is bright and visual, a mini-journey to some interesting and far-away place.

These are tunes worth listening to over and over again!” – Bruce Molsky. Reservations recommended for the workshop by emailing niemisto@stolaf.edu. The concert and workshop are both free.

HISTORIC

HAPPENINGS

By Susan Hvistendahl

(Defeat of) Jesse James Days With a menacing stare and a big ax, Smoke Shop proprietor Stanley “Tiny” Johnson stood beside two men locked into the “Jesse James Days Kangaroo Court Stockade.” The place was Horsecollar Park (now Bridge Square) and the caption on the photo in the Northfield News of Aug. 19, 1948, said that these two “clean-shaven characters” had been thrown in the stock “as a horrible lesson to those who still haven’t forsworn the razor for Jesse James Day.” The first “Jesse James Day” was held in Northfield on Saturday, Sept. 11, 1948, part of a two-day Jaycee Fall Festival which had started in 1946. Maggie Lee, longtime editor and writer at the Northfield News, wrote on Sept. 11, 1992, that she remembered there had been opposition to naming a day for Jesse from people who “wanted to sweep the whole Northfield Bank raid under a rug, emphasizing only the cultural advantages of our city.” But, ever the historian, she felt it was important to remember how the “gang was repulsed” and how “the Northfield experience was a turning point in frontier lawlessness.”

The first button to use “defeat of ” with the name Jesse James for the event came out in 1954, so “Defeat of Jesse James Days”

(DJJD) had taken over very early to emphasize the heroism of townspeople on Sept. 7, 1876, when the James-Younger gang attempted to rob the First National Bank.

That first year, only one raid re-enactment was held at 2 pm in front of the Jesse James Café, now the site of the Northfield Historical Society. Members of the South St. Paul “Hook ‘Em Cow” riders joined locals, including Chuck DeMann of Dundas. DeMann portrayed Henry Wheeler, the Northfielder who had coolly dispatched outlaw Clell Miller from a window of the Dampier Hotel. (The DeMann family, led by Chuck’s son Chip, continues to re-enact the robbery today.) A parade followed which provoked “cheer after cheer,” according to the Northfield News on Sept. 16. “Well-drilled marching units and spectacular floats swung along Division” and an American Legion band even featured the 1948 national juvenile baton champion, 11-year-old Gary Smith. Estimate of spectators ranged up to 10,000.

At the end of the parade came a float carrying Northfield News editor Bill Schilling toting a gun and wearing a Buffalo Bill

The 1948 parade concluded with Bill Schilling’s float, an answer to a 101-yearold man who claimed to be the real Jesse James.

costume, along with a funeral box labeled “Jesse James.” The words “You Can’t Buffalo BILL” were attached to the box. This parade entry was Schilling’s response to a 101-year-old man in Oklahoma named J. Frank Dalton who had sworn that he was the real Jesse James. Dalton claimed it was an imposter who had been killed in Missouri by gang member Bob Ford in 1882.

Sensing a publicity bonanza, the Jaycees invited Dalton to come to Northfield but then balked at the $1,000 fee. Schilling said in his column of Sept. 16 that although Dalton offered to “cut his fee to $750,” he met the “same fate as the 1876 Jesse of old – Northfield turned a deaf ear to him.” (Dozens of men had purported to be the real Jesse, but a DNA test in 1995 confirmed

the real Jesse James was the one killed in 1882.)

Jaycees had been “encouraged” to grow beards to promote the festival and when it was all over, Maggie Lee wrote, “Doggone!

Now I’m having trouble figuring out who these guys are without their beards. Seems a little hard to settle back to earning a living after the week-end of whoop-te-doo.”

By the time of the 6th annual fall festival in 1952, more than 200 children (product of the post-war “baby boom”) joined in a Saturday “kiddie” parade of their own, bringing everything from doll buggies to pet goats. The Jaycees raised money for a swimming pool fund and a tug of war between residents of Dundas and Northfield ended in a tie, when referees could

not agree on a winner. A tragedy occurred in 1953 when a fire truck overturned after the parade with members of a drum and glockenspiel corps aboard, killing one young woman.

In August of 1955, Northfield’s town centennial replaced the raid commemoration and a Harvest Queen Ball was held instead in 1957. But in 1959, Northfield had a “local boy makes good” story which was celebrated to the hilt in a four-day DJJD event. The town had its own budding movie, television and recording star in Johnny Western, who was returning home to see his parents, John and Dolly Westerlund (his father was a physical education teacher in Northfield public schools). Western had taken a new last name when he played guitar and sang country tunes from the Northfield studios of Faribault’s KDHL radio and was deemed the youngest DJ and singer on American radio by Billboard Magazine. By the time Western was 20, the ultimate singing cowboy, Gene Autry, had signed him and in 1958 Western started what would be a lengthy playing and recording career with Johnny Cash (ending in 1997).

On Thursday, Sept. 17, 1959, Western appeared at the Grand Movie Theater for the showing of the United Artists movie Fort Bowie, in which Western had a supporting role and for which he composed the title song. The next night, Western emceed the Miss Northfield pageant and sang the theme song Ballad of Paladin which he had composed and sung for the popular weekly TV show Have Gun Will Travel. On Saturday, the day Don Piccard was involved in a DJJD manned balloon flight, Western presided over both the parade and the Queen’s Harvest Ball and then emceed a horse-pulling contest at the Eugene Schrader farm on Sunday.

Western, who attributes his love of frontier spirit to Northfield, has returned several times for DJJD, most recently in 2005 when he brought along Hollywood cowboys who had appeared in the golden age of westerns. Western has performed all over the world

and has had ten Hall of Fame inductions, but he has never forgotten where he got his start. In 2008, he wrote to the Entertainment Guide that “Northfield was the greatest place in America to have grown up” and he hoped that the young people of Northfield “appreciate how very lucky they are” to live in his hometown.

In 1961, the Chamber of Commerce took over DJJD from the Jaycees. It was also the year when the Rainbow Saddle Club members who were portraying the outlaw gang ran into a bit of unexpected trouble during a raid re-creation. The bank door had been locked for the weekend. They could not get inside and Roy Good recounted how he had to carry on just by firing blanks at the door. This year brought the first of many theater productions by the Northfield Arts Guild Little Theatre group. Jesse James Slipped Here, a melodrama, was followed in subsequent years by variety shows and musicals such as Oklahoma!, Hello, Dolly!, Oliver! and other shows without exclamation marks in the titles.

Although political “glad-handing” was discouraged during parades, two well-known politicians with Northfield connections were welcomed: former Minnesota governor and senator Edward Thye in 1967 and Congressman (and later governor) Al Quie in 1974. (Quie also became the first Joseph Lee Heywood award recipient in 1983, an award given for distinguished service in honor of the heroic Heywood, who was slain during the bank robbery.

This award was also given to former Minnesota governor and Northfield native Karl Rolvaag in 1987, in abstentia.) In 1970, former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota flew into Carleton’s Laird Field by helicopter, rode in the parade and sat on the reviewing stand with Mayor and Mrs. Marvin Grundhoefer.

A public relations tour brought actor David Canary to town in 1972. Canary, who portrayed Candy in NBC’s western show Bonanza, was said to have been astonished that there were no traffic signals in Northfield.

Singer Marilyn Sellars, the pride of Dundas and Northfield, was parade marshal during a rainy DJJD parade in 1973 and returned for a special show at the Grand in 1976 after she was named Best New Female Artist of the year in 1975 by Cashbox Magazine.

Although there had been rodeos before (including the first year in 1948), the first Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) sanctioned DJJD rodeo was held on Sept. 7, 1974, at the Rice County Fairgrounds in Faribault, due to space needs.

That rodeo featured bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding, calf roping and steer wrestling.

Rodeos became one of the most popular DJJD events when they came back to Northfield and were led by the Sutton family of South Dakota. (See story by Lynn Ziegler, co-chair of the DJJD rodeo, in this issue.)

Sellars has sung on the stages of both the old and new Grand Ole Opry, headlined with the likes of Bob Hope, Red Buttons and Bobby Vinton, performed in 40 countries around the world and for three presidents and, like Johnny Western, has not forgotten her roots.

She and Western returned for their friend Maggie Lee’s 90th birthday party at the Grand Event Center in 2011 and Sellars sang at both “Wear Purple for Maggie Lee Day” held in VIPs at the 1983 DJJD celebration (left to right) were comedian Northfield in 2012 and at her George Gobel, celebrity grand marshal; Gov.

The popular Northfield Arts Guild Arts Festival was held both Saturday and Sunday and the full-fledged musical melodrama Jesse, written specifically for the Northfield Musical Theater (formed in 1974), was performed for the first of many succeeding times. Businessman Sid Freeman of Northfield and Barbara Peterson, Miss USA (a St. Olaf student), were the parade marshals. And Chip DeMann, who had been participating in raid re-creations since 1970 when he was 16, took over the reigns as leader of the James-Younger Gang of bank raiders, the exalted position he still holds today. He and his wife Jane Moline, who coordinates the bank raid re-enactments, make sure the raids are as close to historical accuracy as possible.

Northfield merchants have gotten into the act over the years, beyond the whiskering up of 1948. In 1980, salespeople at Jacobsen’s Department Store wore nightcaps for a Midnight Madness sale, offering discounts to those who would buy sleeping garments and wear them out of the store. Quality Bakery, which has been owned and operated by the Klinkhammer family since 1949, continues its tradition of making cookies and donuts in the shape of feet – “De-feet of Jesse James” – during the celebration.

In 1983, Al Quie rode on horseback as marshal of the DJJD parade, leading a pack horse. Having just returned from a trail ride in the West, Quie also participated in the bank raid re-creations and is still a member of the James-Younger Gang. The popular comedian George Gobel was the 1983 celebrity grand marshal, hosted by his friends Sid and Lydia Freeman.

“You are dying! From the instant you are born you begin to die, and the calendar is your executioner!” Starting in 1986 and continuing for more than a decade and a half, this startling news was delivered between raid re-enactments by an old-fashioned snake oil salesman dressed in red tails and black top hat. Known as Dr. Visty, he and a nubile assistant, Lilly Hangtree, peddled an elixir said to prolong life by curing a host of ills: dyspepsia, liver complaints, pimples, PMS, impotence, kidney disease, dizziness, affairs of the heart, zits, rheumatism, headaches, lung trouble, catarrh, impure blood and neuralgia. Small bottles of Dr. Visty’s Vitalic Elixir (healthful Northfield water) were sold for $1 in the Northfield Historical Society museum, where visitors might be enticed to spend more money and time. (Northfield attorney David Hvistendahl, my brother, preserves memories of the medicine show era in the Dr. Visty Suite above Froggy Bottoms.)

By 1989, the Defeat of Jesse James celebration was drawing about 100,000 people with the combination of horses and gun fighting in the raid re-enactments always supplying dramatic moments. In 1991, the 5 pm re-enactment was proceeding as usual, with current DJJD Board Chairman and KYMN radio icon Wayne Eddy portraying Clell Miller, one of the bandits killed during the raid. Along with being one

of the founders of the Northfield Historical Society, Eddy has been instrumental in DJJD activities through the years, including instituting the first beer garden of 1969 and bringing in the DJJD re-enactors and royalty from the Ambassador Scholarship program to visit grade schools. As described in the Northfield News of Sept. 11, 1991, Eddy fell as planned from his horse onto the pavement on the east side of Division Street. When a townsperson rolled him over onto his back, “the hammer of his gun struck one of the gun’s cartridges, which was filled with black powder for blanks. The fire from the blank ignited the gun’s five other cartridges and those ignited the rounds that were attached to Eddy’s belt.”

Eddy told me, “I actually rose three inches from the ground from the explosions of the cartridges. The brass cartridges were packed for smoke, fire and noise effect.” The long duster coat he was wearing caught fire and Eddy pulled it off and started jumping up and down on it to put out the fire. At first, people were laughing, thinking it was part of the show. But it was soon clear this was not part of the script. Eddy realized that his pants and underwear were on fire, as well, so he had to extinguish that fire also. Eddy’s horse, named Dollar, never left his side (it was the horse John Wayne had ridden in the movie The Shootist, so obviously had experience with dramas). Eddy then rolled up the duster, tied it to his saddle and rode Dollar to the corral which was located behind the Archer House. He was taken immediately to the hospital where he was treated for second-degree burns to his waist and buttocks.

Ever the trouper, Eddy showed up at 7 pm that night to announce Drum and Bugle Corps competition. Eddy told me, “The formality of the event went down the tubes” as the painkillers kicked in, rendering him “a little spacey.” The next year he rode in the parade with small fire extinguishers attached to his saddle.

In 1996, Don McRae, who had announced raid re-enactments for 38 years, died and at the end of a DJJD raid that year, the gang saluted him while bagpipes played. A similar salute was given in 2013 to Dan Freeman, who succeeded McRae as announcer.

Horses have always had starring roles during DJJD so it should

not be surprising that the famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses were grand marshals of Sunday parades in 1997 and 2006. They also appeared at the rodeo and, avoiding festival food, each of the giant horses consumed 50 to 60 pounds of hay each day.

The 125th anniversary of the raid was celebrated by the Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra at Carleton’s Laird Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2001, with a concert of pieces by Northfield composers Dan Kallman, Phillip Rhodes and Arthur Campbell, concluding with the 1812 Overture and fireworks. Just two days later came the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

I moved to Northfield from New York in 2004 so have experienced 10 Defeat of Jesse James Days, including many of those as a member of the Senior Posse which gives tours of the museum.

Perhaps the most memorable year for me was 2005 when James Ross, the great-grandson of Jesse James, came to town to be the grand marshal of the parade. Ross was on the other side of the law from his famous relative, having served as judge of Orange County Superior Court in California from 1983 until he retired in 1995. Judge Ross spent two evenings at Froggy Bottoms River Pub, owned by my brother David, with current JamesYounger leader Chip DeMann. Ross found his favorite Scotch on the menu and, after fortifying himself with it, had his first experience with karaoke, joining me and Mary Casey to sing, It Had to Be You, Singing in the Rain and Swanee. During that DJJD weekend he was continually attired in cowboy boots and hat and admitted he was a “cowboy wannabe.” He told everyone he was glad the citizens of Northfield had missed Jesse when they fired on the gang and killed two. In the parade on Sunday, he showed off equestrian skills by riding Casey’s horse Magee.

Judge Ross died at the age of 80 in March of 2007. In 2008, another Jesse James descendant, his great-granddaughter Betty Barr, presided over DJJD festivities.

One has to wonder what their great-grandfather Jesse would have thought of all this. DJJD has become the largest all-volunteer community celebration in Minnesota. Jesse was what you might call a “publicity hound” at times during his nefarious career, so perhaps he would have approved. But I am sure he would have argued against adding “Defeat of” to the title “Jesse James Days.”

DJJD Rodeo Celebrates its Past and Future

By Lynn Ziegler A rodeo has been part of Defeat of Jesse James Days from the beginning. The Northfield News of Aug. 26, 1948, said, “A real, honest-to-gosh rodeo with bronco-busting, trick riding and roping” would be held both days of the Fall Festival. The Northern Rodeo persuaded the Hook ‘em Cow riders that moved cattle through the South St. Paul stockyards to take part in the sole raid re-enactment on Jesse James Day, Sept. 11.

The first DJJD performances of a PRCA-sanctioned (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) rodeo took place at the Rice County Fairgrounds in Faribault, due to space requirements, on Sept. 7 and 8, 1974. Events were saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, steer wrestling, bull riding and calf roping.

This year’s DJJD rodeo will celebrate 30 years of associa- The Defeat of Jesse James Days Rodeo is celebrating 30 years with the tion with the Sutton Rodeo Company of Onida, South Sutton Rodeo Company of South Dakota, a five-generation family affair: (shown, left to right) Julie and Jim Sutton, Kim and Steve Sutton, Steven Dakota.

in 1997 and 2006), the rodeo was approved for Ames Park and the Suttons returned. There was a major expense to rent bleachers, but the rodeo was a success. Well-known rodeo announcer Hadley Barrett and Jon Taylor, a three-time National Rodeo Finals Clown, were featured, along with the professional cowboys. Local contestants participated in barrel races and a wild cow milking contest.

After Barrett, Phil Gardenhire, cousin of Twins coach Ron Gardenhire and a real class act, was rodeo announcer for a number of years before his untimely death in a car accident.

In 1984, there was no rodeo due to a dispute about beer sponsorship. But in 1985, Budweiser was chosen (which led the way for the famous Budweiser Clydesdales to make appearances

In 1986, the Defeat of Jesse James committee paid $20,000 and moved bleachers to Ames Park from the South St. Paul Rodeo which had folded in 1984. Ole Carlson, one of that rodeo’s owners, has been instrumental in the success of the DJJD rodeo ever since. In 1987, the rodeo was moved to the Jesse James Arena on South Highway 3 in Babcock Park, its current location. This year’s rodeo will be held there on Sept. 5 and 6.

included the popular “mutton busting” rides on sheep for youngsters. In 1988, the 5th PRCA rodeo had a total purse of $16,000 to attract top riders. By1992, there were 200 cowboys from 21 states competing.

Moving to Babcock Park provided challenges, as it was a construction material dump with lots of cement, rebar and parts of old buildings buried there. Debris had to be taken away and several truckloads of sand, dirt and gravel brought in. To this day, debris makes its way to the surface and has to be removed.

In addition, four large light poles and electricity had to be added. Among other challenges were having a light pole struck by lightning just days before DJJD and flooding of the grounds.

The bleachers need to be continually maintained. In 2002, the bleachers were upgraded to comply with new state codes with the help of sales from 3,000 Jesse James bobblehead dolls financed by Econofoods. Thanks to Bob Matheson and Andrew Ziegler, the arena grounds could not be in better hands.

The Sutton Rodeo contractors bring in award-winning acts, as well as three semi-trucks full of horses, bulls and calves. Roman style riding and trick roping/riding is always a hit, as has been Jerry Olson with his buffalo Chief. Chief even poked his nose into the Northfield Historical Society museum during one visit.

Tommy Lucia has entertained with his cowboy monkey Whiplash riding on a border collie rounding up wild sheep. From 1985 to 1991, the Kyle Evans Band was a popular attraction.

(His career was cut short when his motorcycle collided with a deer in South Dakota in 2001.)

average 4,500-5,000 and are outgrowing our space yet again, a great problem to have. To mark the 30th anniversary of the Sutton Rodeo, the DJJD committee has “adopted” the park from the city. We are now working with the park board to make the Jesse James Arena a year-round park, usable for concerts, circuses, sports and, of course, continuing use as one of the best small town PRCA rodeos.

However, it will be very expensive to add new bleachers. More efficient lighting is needed, with an area for bathrooms and concession stands and improved parking. A fund has been set up and any donations are greatly appreciated. Donations should be sent to DJJDays Bleacher Fund, P.O. Box 23, Northfield, Mn. 55057.

Along with the Suttons, many dedicated committee members have made this rodeo one of the best small town PRCA rodeos in the Great Lakes circuit. Greg Langer has been instrumental to the rodeo, as have Chip DeMann and Jane Moline.

The Sutton Rodeo Company continues each year to provide DJJD with award-winning livestock, top-notch rodeo cowboys and phenomenal entertainment. The Suttons say they always feel welcomed here and are blessed to be part of the DJJD celebration.

The many rodeo volunteers and the Suttons look forward to many years to come.
