faribault events

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Minnesota recently held their annual Bowl for Kids Sake fundraising event, and now they are hosting another fun event! This time the focus is on getting more men involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters as "Bigs."

The weekend is here! And yesterday's rains have turned to sunshine today. There is plenty to do this weekend, and if you're like many Minnesotans, all of your weekend activities will be set to the music of the late Prince.

The Faribault Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism celebrated the 25th annual Faribault Business Expo and Job Fair today, April 21, at the Faribault Ice Arena.

The Traveling Wall Faribault group is bringing an 80 percent to scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial to the Rice County Fairgrounds at the end of August, and to support that endeavor, the group is hosting a five-band extravaganza and fundraiser on April 23.

Could today's weather be stranger? It is Minnesota, so I am not surprised that we are experiencing snow in April, but that fact that we have had rain, snow, sun, clouds, more snow, and more sun within the time frame of one day does seem a bit out of the ordinary. If you're like me and the great majority of the population, you're ready for the weekend and looking for some fun to fill the time away

The Faribault Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism has announced that the 25th annual Faribault Business Expo and Job Fair will be April 21 at the Faribault Ice Arena.

The Faribault Main Street organization hosted the first Faribault Flannel Formal Fundraiser last Saturday, April 2, and it was a big success.

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
