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 />

No matter your interest or the time of year you<br />

choose to stay with us, <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> has an abundance<br />

of things to do, see and relish.<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 />

for tourists and residents alike.<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 />

chance to visit our stunning lakes while you are here.<br />

Winter entertainment ranges from snowmobiling and<br />

cross-country skiing, to ice-skating and ice fishing.<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 />

hogs and corn, and it is among the state’s top 10 for<br />

soybeans and cattle.<br />
