faribault events

Mother Nature is playing what might be the best April Fool's joke I've heard of so far this week, by having rain, sun, snow and back to sun. One day is flip-flop weather, the next they are canceling school. No matter what the weather brings, Minnesotans like to get out and be active, and there is plenty going on this weekend.

The Faribault Main Street organization will be hosting the first Faribault Flannel Formal Fundraiser this Saturday, April 2, from 5-10PM at F-Town Brewing Company in Faribault.

There is a saying that if you don't like the weather in Minnesota, wait five minutes and it will change. This week has been an excellent example of that. We went from warmth and sunshine on Monday and Tuesday to school cancellations and snow, and the weekend is scheduled to bring rain. Umbrella, winter boots, keep them both handy because you could need both on and off for a bit longer. Regardless

Just when it seemed certain that we were likely to enjoy an early spring, Minnesota decided to remind us that March is still firmly snow and cold weather in the northern states. Weekend temperatures are expected to be in the upper 30s, possibly hitting into the low 40s, which seems chilly on the tails of last weekend's warmth, but is actually about average for this time of year. There is also a ch

For young women and men in high school, prom is a special event. It is something that they look forward to all year, make plans and once the evening itself has passed, they will have the memories for years to come. But prom is expensive, and for some families, the cost can be a huge obstacle to attending. In 2013, Cinderella’s Closet of Hope was created to provide formal wear to students who might

The weekend is here! This much-needed two days away from the daily grind also looks to bring unseasonable high temperatures (if I used emojis, I would insert all of the ones indicating joy, happiness and sunshine here), which means it is officially window-open weather. If you have a few open spots left on your schedule for the weekend, you'll be happy to know that there is no shortage of fun event

Faribault is so lucky to have the Paradise Center for the Arts in our beautiful historic downtown! They offer classes, galleries, have a lovely shop, host plays, comedians and music performances. With so many amazing programs at the Paradise Center for the Arts, I just can't fit them all into my schedule, but I always make room for as many as I can. Here are my top choices for the year! Check them

Hard to believe it is already March! Here in the north we know not to trust that first beautiful day and we wait to put away our jackets and boots because Old Man Winter likes to take his sweet time saying goodbye and pops in again just when we think the coast is clear. Last weekend we were spoiled with some pretty warm and sunny days, during the week we had lower temperatures, today we had snow,

Faribault High School's Performing Arts programs have some upcoming performances that you'll want to mark on your calendar!

The weekend is here, and despite the calendar still saying February, it feels like spring. Considering we have had snow well into April before, I'm trying not to get too excited that the warm weather and sunshine will stick around, but I do plan to enjoy it for as long as it lasts. The forecast is currently predicting that we could see 58 degrees on Saturday! 58 degrees! While you let that soak in
