Hvote Hvistendahl. That is the slogan for the Northfield mayoral campaign of Froggy Bottoms’ co-owner David Hvistendahl. David appeared at a “mayoral candidating” session at the Grand Event Center on August 10, sponsored by the Northfield Union of Youth. David will be interviewed about his mayoral aspirations on KYMN radio at 8:40 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 18. He will be taking part in an upcoming candidate event at the Contented Cow, 302 Division Street S., on Thursday evening, Aug. 21, from 6-8 p.m. And on Sunday, Aug. 17, he will be speaking and answering questions at an open house for candidates at the Northfield Union of Youth, the Key, next door to Froggy Bottoms at 303 Water St. S., starting at 3 p.m.

    And, of course, you are likely to run into David at Froggy Bottoms where he will be happy to engage you in conversation about the issues of the town. You can keep up to date on the campaign at www.hvistendahlformayor.org.

Remember to HVOTE in the mayoral primary, Tuesday, Sept. 9!
