We've Got The County Covered
We've Got The County Covered
The MSU-Northern Foundation has launched its first-ever Deck the Halls Competition and Fundraiser! Thirteen houses are competing for who has the best holiday light display. Jeff Finley, owner of Finley's Food Farm, willingly threw his hat in the competition and is the sole house representing Blaine County. Jeff is a proud supporter of MSU-Northern and was happy to participate in this competition. His house, located at 400 Illinois St, is decked out with custom dancing bells, music (tune in to 98.1 to listen), and a large display of beautiful lights -including a video image in the shape of a snow globe
The Foundation encourages the community to get out of the house and enjoy the lights in person. Visit msunfoundation.org for a map of all the participating houses. Because the Foundation was unable to host its Alumni Auction, an event that normally raises money for MSUN student clubs and athletic groups, they came up with, Deck the Halls designed to be a safe, uplifting event for the holiday season that will still support Northern students. Each participating house has their own crowdfunding page. To vote for a house, simply donate on their page, and the house that raises the most money by winter solstice, 12/21, will win the top prize!
If you would prefer to give a donation of cash or check, call 406-265-3711 or email alumni@msun.edu. You can also give donations to Jim Andersen or Richard Cronk to pass along to the foundation. We will add all gifts to the house of your choice for our leaderboard. Follow us on Facebook for Deck the Halls videos and updates throughout the month of December! Voting ends on 12/21 so be sure to check back in on your favorite house before then to see where they're at in the rankings! Good luck to House #1, Jeff Finley!
