Fairmont, Minnesota, has been selected to be featured in Season 2 of the My Town documentary series, created by 3-time Emmy Award winner Cory Hepola!
Cory Hepola will visit Fairmont and 7 other rural communities across five states to explore the joys of small-town life and challenge common misconceptions about rural living. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase what makes Fairmont a special place to live, work, and visit.
Here is what Cory had to say about Fairmont: “I had no idea this is the ‘Bacon Capital of the United States!’ Fairmont is a beautiful community surrounded by five sparkling lakes. Their school district excels in academics, athletics, and the arts. And, I love how this town celebrates its ag economy. How have I never been here?”
Filming will begin in the summer of 2025, with the episode set to air in the fall of 2025. Stay tuned for updates!
Let the hospitality in Fairmont welcome you! Just off Interstate-90, you’ll find a wide selection of hotels and restaurants. Perhaps a more rustic stay at a cabin or camping near the lake is more your style – we’ve got you covered.
