faribault events

Last Friday night, downtown Faribault was filled with four blocks of fantastic vehicles for the Faribault Main Street Car Cruise and Car Club Showdown. It was the final and biggest event of the summer and drew a large crowd and an amazing array of vehicles! In total there were 204 cars in attendance on a beautiful Friday evening!

We have a brief reprieve from the rain that seems to have been dampening, literally and figuratively, many of our weekends and outdoor fun as of late. With the rains holding off, and Friday afternoon here, that means its time to switch into weekend mode and find some fun. Luckily, there is no shortage of great things to do in our area this weekend!

Bragging rights to make any car enthusiast green with envy, 10 t-shirts for the winning club, and one ridiculously huge, custom made, one-of-a-kind trophy specially crafted for the first Faribault Main Street Car Cruise Night Car Club Showdown are all on the line this Friday from 6-9PM in downtown Faribault!

Every year, I create a list of things I want to do in the summer, and so far, for various reasons, I am woefully behind.

I have a feeling I am not alone in this, and if you're like me, you're going to be using these remaining warm days to squeeze as much as

The weekend is here! After having Monday off for the Fourth of July holiday, and thereby having a shortened work week, you would think that we wouldn't be quite as impatient for the weekend. But here in Minnesota our summers are short and the weather looks to be great, leaving us all ready to get out of the 9-5 routine and enjoy the weekend in all its glory. This weekend there is plenty going on t

Hard to believe that it is nearly time to celebrate the Fourth of July! Summer is flying by so quickly, but the weather is looking to be ideal in the upper 70s/low 80s for the weekend with partly sunny skies, so lets make the most of the good weather and the long weekend!

The Buckham Memorial Library will be hosting the Animal Ambassadors program on Friday, July 1, presented by the River Bend Nature Center.

It's the weekend! The forecast is looking a bit mixed with a chance to storms on Saturday, and sunshine on Sunday, but regardless of the weather, there is fun to be had around Faribault!
