Faribault has some pretty great reasons to be excited about living or visiting our area. There are a lot of positives, but I wonder what you would like to see added to make our community even better? Click below for more information!  We are located conveniently  on I-35, just a short drive from the Twin Cities, Rochester and Mankato; we are home to South Central College, which allows students to receive a two-year degree or get a start on a bachelor's degree close to home; we have access to the Sakatah Trail; there are 10 lakes within 10 miles; the River Bend Nature Center is a beautiful place to visit during all four seasons; and we are home to the beautiful campuses of the Minnesota Academy for the Deaf, the Minnesota State Academy for the Blind and Shattuck St. Mary's school. Additionally, we host the annual Rice County Fair, have a Memorial Day parade and Heritage Days, are lucky to have the Paradise Center for the Arts and the Blue Collar BBQ and Arts Festival, and we boast a beautiful historic downtown district.

Now, no place is perfect, but I've only listed a couple of the things that make Faribault great. I could easily add to this list with what we currently have, but I want to know where could we improve this already great town. Let me know if there is something you think would be beneficial to the residents or visitors of Faribault. Is there a certain type of business you would like to see added (type over specific brand or company is preferred), do you have a great idea for an event you would love to see happen, do you have a great idea for the downtown district? Let me know!
