“Get your guns boys! They’re robbing the bank! “Get your guns boys! They’re robbing the bank!”

Sunday started out early as we headed down to Northfield to help celebrate the Defeat of Jesse James Days! The day started out with breakfast, then off to watch the famous reenactment, followed by a sidewalk packed parade and ended in a beautiful coronation to celebrate the outgoing DJJD ambassadors and welcome in the incoming ones! 

As we start to get into our training meetings and focus on our Pillars of Leadership, it was an amazing opportunity to witness an organization that focuses so much on Teamwork and Courage. Teamwork, being shown as DJJD is one of the largest volunteer ran organizations in Minnesota and Courage that’s shown in each reenactment of the townspeople who stood up to the James/Younger Gang. 

Thank you Northfield for the amazing hospitality!
