faribault events

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!

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

The sun is shining, temperatures are unseasonably warm for this time of year and the weekend is a few short hours away! Things are looking up! As usual, there is no shortage of ways to celebrate the short break from the daily grind. The Faribault area has some fun things going on this weekend for you to enjoy!

Not only is the weekend here, but Valentine's Day is also on Sunday, so don't be surprised to see couples, flowers and romantic gestures in abundance this weekend. Saturday brings chilly weather and some snow accumulation, which will carry into Sunday. Luckily, you don't have to go far to find things to do in the Faribault area.

The weekend is here! Some weeks seem to take longer than others, and while it probably flew by for kids who got a couple of days off because of the snow, for the adults shoveling after work, the weekend probably seems like a very exciting event. We're in the home stretch with just a couple of hours left in the work day, and the good news is that there are plenty of fun things going on in the area.
