Downtown and all Faribault is going crazy! That’s right, Faribault Crazy Days is coming up July 29 and 30 and there are a lot of amazing deals to be had, plus family fun! More than 30 businesses are participating, making it a great time to get out and do some shopping in Faribault!

This year the theme is "Let's Go Crazy," and there will be a window decorating contest for the storefronts. Businesses are asked to create purple window displays to support the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life Rice County.

There will also be the second annual crazy days pub crawl on Friday, July 29. This year participants are asked to dressed in their purple best and meet at Grampa Al's at 5PM to register and get a score card before heading out to play fun games at local establishments. Last year's games included frozen turkey bowling, blindfolded bean bag toss, and other fun games.

In the past, I have enjoyed stopping by a couple of local shops to check out the deals for myself, and I walked away with some great purchases. There was a great selection, all marked at really good prices, plus, customer service that is out of this world. I don’t always get a chance to spend an afternoon strolling the shops enjoying a little retail therapy, but I’m so glad I had a chance to! Great weather, fantastic bargains, and fun? Count me in!
