AWARDS & RECOGNITION<br />
AWARDS & RECOGNITION<br />
FAIRMONT - THE TOP 20 COMMUNITY IN THE NATION<br />
The <strong>Fairmont</strong> area promotes, instills<br />
and supports the Top 20 concepts<br />
originally designed and implemented<br />
in St. Paul, Minnesota. Teachings are<br />
based on the Pareto principle which<br />
proposes that roughly 80% of the effects<br />
come from 20% of the causes.<br />
In most situations where there is a<br />
group doing an activity, some will just<br />
naturally succeed more than others.<br />
Top 20 awakens in people their inside<br />
power (how they think and see) and<br />
develops their outside power (how<br />
and what they communicate in order<br />
to create more satisfying results and<br />
a more enjoyable journey through<br />
life. It helps people of all ages be<br />
more aware of choices they have<br />
everyday to make a positive difference<br />
in their relationships and experiences.<br />
In the 20 years since initial application,<br />
the Top 20 TLC (Thinking,<br />
Learning, Communicating) curriculum<br />
has evolved nationwide. In 2013,<br />
<strong>Fairmont</strong> made a commitment to promote<br />
Top 20 throughout the entire region,<br />
engaging the educational<br />
institutions, businesses, government<br />
and the general populous. Top 20<br />
Thinking to Create a Healthy Workplace<br />
and Community points to remember<br />
are: 1) Live Above the Line;<br />
2) Help Other Succeed; 3) Communicate<br />
“You Matter”; 4) Honor the Absent;<br />
5) See the Problem; Own the<br />
Problem. If you would like to know<br />
more about how <strong>Fairmont</strong> has used<br />
Top 20 Training to become a better<br />
community,<br />

MARTIN COUNTY NAMED BLANDIN BROADBAND COMMUNITY<br />
The program is an intensive, twoyear<br />
partnership between Blandin<br />
Foundation and selected rural Minnesota<br />
communities that provide<br />
planning, technical and financial support<br />
to communities that demonstrate<br />
the determination to bring the benefits<br />
of a broadband-enabled economy<br />
to their communities. Several successful<br />
projects have been launched.<br />
<strong>Fairmont</strong> Area Calendar (fairmontareacalendar.com)<br />
brings information<br />
about events throughout<br />
<strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> to be available in one<br />
place online. Coffee Connections,<br />
hosted at various locations throughout<br />
the county, provides computer,<br />
tablet and cell phone basics to the<br />
public. A broadband/wifi feasibility<br />
study has assessed availability and<br />
access. Local youth learned skills at<br />
a two-week App Camp held during<br />
the Summer of 2015.<br />
“Caring For Our Community”<br />
Lakeview Funeral Home and Cremation Service is dedicated<br />

QUALITY OF LIFE AVAILABLE IN<br />
MARTIN COUNTY<br />
An effort is underway to entice<br />
and assist professionals<br />
to relocate to <strong>Martin</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong>, thanks to a grant<br />
through Southern Minnesota<br />
Initiative Foundation.<br />
The “One Big Thing<br />
Grant” opportunity was introduced<br />
in the Spring of<br />
2015. Stressing the importance<br />
of a collaborative and<br />
regional project, SMIF<br />
awarded $32,950 to public<br />
and private sector leaders<br />
who make up the “Brain<br />
Gain” Committee. The<br />
group’s title is indicative of<br />
the wealth of knowledge<br />
and community enrichment<br />
that those who have left<br />
rural areas to obtain higher<br />
education bring when they<br />
choose to move into smaller<br />
communities in search of a<br />
simpler life, safety, affordable<br />
housing, outdoor<br />
recreation and quality<br />
schools. Visit:<br />

VISIT MARTIN COUNTY<br />
While you’re here, be sure to check the calendar for<br />
one of our many popular festivals, where you can get<br />
a true taste of life in <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />
History buffs can delve a little deeper into the local<br />
culture by visiting various sites listed on the Minnesota<br />
National Register, while learning about Indian<br />
uprisings, military conquests and marveling at magnificent<br />
architecture – don’t forget to make time for<br />
some antique browsing along the way.Those looking<br />
to kick back and let time pass them by, should head<br />
to one of the 49 lakes scattered across the county<br />
for a relaxing day of<br />
fishing, swimming, canoeing<br />
or boating. Camping facilities<br />
at several of these lakes help to<br />
complete the perfect day of<br />
tranquility. Known as the<br />
‘City of Lakes’, <strong>Fairmont</strong> is home to<br />
five stunning bodies of water – George Lake, Lake<br />
Sisseton, Budd Lake, Hall Lake, and Amber Lake –<br />
four of which are interconnected and all offering fishing<br />
and boating opportunities.If a round of golf is<br />
more your style, we’ve got two 18-hole courses in<br />
<strong>Fairmont</strong>, and a third nine-hole facility in Sherburn.<br />
Or how about a round of disc golf? <strong>Fairmont</strong>’s Cedar<br />
Creek Park has not one, but two 18-hole courses for<br />
devotees of this increasingly popular pastime. As the<br />
colder weather settles in, prepare to switch gears<br />
and venture out onto our more than 140 miles of<br />
groomed snowmobile trails. The lush terrain of the<br />
sunshine-soaked summer months give way to a winter<br />
wonderland that will take your breath away.<br />
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing entice all<br />
ages to enjoy the crisp, clean air and frosted countryside,<br />
while fishing fans can grab their tackle boxes<br />
and try their luck at ice fishing. Did we mention our<br />
cultural sites, sporting facilities, and shopping attractions?<br />

HISTORICAL PLACES SITES<br />
The <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
Courthouse<br />
It was thanks to the rolling hills surrounding our<br />
picturesque lake setting that <strong>Fairmont</strong> was named<br />
– it was originally called Fair Mount. Since the establishment<br />
of a fort here in 1826, <strong>Fairmont</strong> has been<br />
steeped in an intriguing history. For nearly 200 years,<br />
our community has weathered Indian uprisings, Civil<br />
War unrest, 19th century agricultural challenges, and<br />
the industrial development of the early 1900s. But<br />
that rich tapestry of pioneering settlers, battlefield<br />
conflicts, and innovative farming methods, has seen<br />
<strong>Fairmont</strong> grow to become one of the state’s leading<br />
rural communities.Enjoy historical sites listed on the<br />
Minnesota National Register, visit the ‘Lost Towns’ of<br />
<strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong>, and walk in the footsteps of Victorian<br />
era residents in our historic downtown centers.<br />
Wherever you choose to go, you’ll embark on a voyage<br />
of discovery spanning centuries, cultures, and a<br />
bygone era.<br />

THINGS TO DO<br />
Live music at the Marina Lodge<br />
When visitors come to <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> they don’t<br />
complain there is nothing to do. Instead, they<br />
lament the lack of time to do everything on their list!<br />
We can keep you occupied and entertained from the<br />
moment you arrive to the time that you reluctantly<br />
leave.<br />
Plan on staying awhile? No problem. We have yearround<br />
activities that make this the ideal destination<br />

Visit one of our bars or music venues for some fancy<br />
footwork on the dance floor, live music, and a chance<br />
to sing your favorite karaoke tune.<br />
Sporty types can get in the middle of the action, or<br />
just spectate, at numerous events including<br />
cross-country skiing, football, volleyball, soccer,<br />
hockey and baseball.<br />
And most Friday evenings, from April to September,<br />
enjoy the thrill of dirt track racing at the <strong>Fairmont</strong><br />
Raceway (www.<strong>Fairmont</strong>Raceway.com).<br />
Bowlers should head to the Bowlmor Lanes &<br />
Lounge in <strong>Fairmont</strong>, which has been operating in the<br />
community since the 1940s.<br />
Today, it’s a modern and popular gathering place for<br />
families, and even includes a golf simulator for those<br />
who miss the fairways during the winter months<br />
(bowlmore-lanes.com).<br />
Get out on the hiking and biking trails or the golf<br />
course in the warmer seasons, or enjoy aquatic activities<br />
like fishing and boating – you can’t miss the<br />

SEASONAL RECREATION<br />
Wondering what’s the best time of year to visit<br />
<strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong>? The answer is simple. It’s allyear<br />
round. No matter what season you choose to<br />
visit, there is always something to see and do.<br />
>> Winter (December – March)<br />
For around three months of the year <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
becomes a winter wonderland. The surrounding<br />
landscape takes on an ethereal beauty that’s just<br />
begging to be enjoyed. Swap your four-wheeled vehicle<br />
for a snowmobile and head out onto 140 miles<br />
of groomed trails that connect with Faribault <strong>County</strong><br />
to the east, and Watonwan <strong>County</strong> to the north. Don<br />
some skis and enjoy the scenery via some crosscountry<br />
skiing, or how about a snowshoeing adventure?<br />
There are groomed trails at Cedar Creek Park,<br />
as well as trails at Bright Lake, Timberlane and<br />
Cedar Hanson Parks. <strong>Fairmont</strong> has an indoor arena<br />
for ice-skating, or try your hand at some ice fishing<br />
at one of our local lakes.<br />
>> Spring (April – May)<br />
As the winter snows begin to melt, it’s time to<br />
breathe in the fresh smells of spring. Blow away the<br />
cobwebs during a leisurely ride or stroll along one<br />
of our many bicycling and walking trails throughout<br />
<strong>Fairmont</strong>, or pedal over to Bright Lake, Timberlane<br />
or Cedar Hanson Parks. You will also find horseback<br />
trails at these locations. Golfers can tee off at two<br />
challenging 18-hole courses at Interlaken or Rose<br />
Lake Golf Clubs. And if time is not on your side, then<br />
take to the fairways of Fox Lake Golf Club for a ninehole<br />
round.<br />

Summer (June – August)<br />
Where better to enjoy the lazy<br />
days of summer than on the<br />
shores and waters of <strong>Martin</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong>’s 49 lakes? Enjoy scenic views<br />
from a boat, canoe or kayak, catch a fish<br />
or two, or up the energy factor with a spot<br />
of waterskiing. Water activities also beckon<br />
at the Aquatic Park in <strong>Fairmont</strong>, along with<br />
area swimming pools. Hiking, biking and<br />
golfing continue on from the spring months,<br />
as well as the opportunity for a round of<br />
disc golf.<strong>Fairmont</strong> has two, 18-hole disc golf<br />
courses – players throw plastic discs into a<br />
series of metal baskets – at Cedar Creek Park.<br />
SEASONAL RECREATION<br />
>> Fall (September – November)<br />
This is the perfect time to take in the magnificence<br />
and beauty of Mother Nature’s changing colors.<br />
Bright shades of green make way for red, yellow,<br />
and gold, creating a spectacular backdrop from<br />
which to enjoy fall activities. Pick up some sweet<br />
and juicy apples from one of two local orchards,<br />
or grab some cider or delicious homemade pies.<br />
(www.CenterCreekOrchard.com and<br />
www.TimberLakeOrchard.com) Go for a scenic<br />
drive around the lakes and into our surrounding<br />
countryside and parks, or head out onto the water<br />
to enjoy the pre-winter rays of sunshine. This is<br />
also a popular season for hunters, who travel to<br />
<strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> to take advantage of the waterfowl,<br />
white-tail deer and pheasants that gather in the<br />
region. You can also get some target practice in<br />
at the <strong>Fairmont</strong> Trap Club’s shooting range.<br />

Wednesday evening you will want to crimp your hair<br />
and put on your 80’s best and come rock with Hairball.<br />
Hairball is a Rock and Roll experience you<br />
won’t soon forget. Most bands put on a concert -<br />
Hairball puts on an event! The lights, sound, smoke,<br />
fire, bombs, and screaming hordes of avid fans...to<br />
merely call it a concert would be like calling Mount<br />
Rushmore a roadside attraction! Hairball is more<br />
than just a band - and certainly more than a tribute<br />
band!<br />
