Communion

There's no bread. The bakers have gone into hiding. The seats at the table are empty. The Twelve are out marching with the thousands. The streets are filled with a new song. Only Judas sits at Target Plaza, counting his silver, while Pontius Pilate issues a carefully-worded statement. Meanwhile, the centurions have quotas to fill. But out on the streets there's a Communion. Jesus takes the city in his hands and says, "This is my body, broken for you."

By Rob Hardy (former poet laureate of Northfield, MN), February 2, 2026.

The haunting legend of the Northfield Pigman.

On the night before Halloween in 1951, Sam, a mischievous young man, embarked on a prank-filled adventure called Picket Night, which resulted in his mysterious disappearance. Despite extensive searches involving hundreds of locals, Sam's whereabouts remain unknown, giving rise to rumors of demonic possession and sightings of a terrifying creature resembling Sam.

Years later, high school students encountered a horrifying sight during a school dance—a naked, white-haired creature with a pig's head emerged from the woods, sending shivers down their spines and fueling the haunting legends of Sam Harris. Coincidentally, around the same time, in 1971, a farmer reported encountering a man with pig-like facial features rummaging through his trash.

It's unknown whether the Pigman is Sam Harris or the beast that devoured Sam Harris. Legends depict him as a pig-slaughtering, entrail-eating, pig-head-wearing figure who haunts the New England town, instilling fear among the locals. Whispers of bestiality and the existence of half-man, half-pig offspring further add to the eerie tales surrounding Sam Harris.

Since those first sightings, the Pigman has turned into a kind of "rural legend" in Northfield. More than one nighttime traveler has reported encountering the Pigman while driving on a deserted country road, the hairy white beast barely missing the front of their car.

How Summer Started VS How It's Going

Ventura's Offshore Cafe

Enjoyed the pizza at this restaurant located in Northfield, New Jersey. It is a bit more fancy than your typical pizzeria. Ventura's Offshore Cafe has a full menu and bar. The pizza was delicious and so was the salad. Despite it being crowded on a Friday night, the wait was only about 10 minutes.
