Sip, Shop & Play: A Morning in Fairmont

Spend a quintessential small-town morning in Fairmont, Minnesota. Start your day off at the local coffee shop with a pick me up and maybe a sweet or savory treat, move on to the largest clothing consignment store in Minnesota before ending your morning at a newly updated playground that has some gorgeous lake views.

Graffiti Corner

Graffiti Corner is the perfect spot to start a laid back morning of small town adventures. The menu is perfect for all ages. Parents can grab a caffeinated beverage to wake them up and kids can choose from teas, hot chocolate or smoothies. If you are hungry, they do have some great menu items that will satisfy a sweet or savory craving.

Next up, swing downtown Fairmont to stop by the biggest clothing consignment store that I have ever seen. Giddy Up Boutique is packed from floor to ceiling with something for everyone. From babies to adults and all genders. You cannot leave this store empty handed. I was pleasantly surprised at how busy it was with customers.

Ward Park

Last stop on your slow-moving morning is stopping by Ward Park to let the kiddos get out some giggles and wiggles. The playground has recently been updated with some great equipment, but the star of the show here is the incredible lake views. Along the outskirts of the playground are some walking trails to go on a peaceful walk while enjoying the calming lake.
