But the city of New Ulm is taking the community resource aspect of its public library to a whole new level, providing frozen meals and fresh produce for residents to take home.

Crowds walk along the vendors market Saturday on Central Avenue for the Faribault Fall Festival. Crowds gathered in Downtown Faribault on Saturday for the city’s annual Fall Festival. The event, which stretched along Central Avenue, featured a vendors market, an open house at the Faribault Fire Department, a chili competition, trick-or-treating and kids activities provided by toy store Runamuck Workshop and Faribault Parks and Recreation. “It’s been pretty, pretty wild to say the least,” Runamuck owner Sheana Schlichter said. “We’ve been running around.” Schlichter designed the kids area to appeal to all age ranges, citing her own familial experience as inspiration. “We have three kids that enjoy different things, and we knew it had to span a large range of ages, so we just worked hard to find fun activities,” Schlichter said. The end result included a bouncy house, a gaga ball pit, and a stuffed animal slingshot in front of the store. Runamuck also provided trick-or-treating bags for children at the festival. Visitor Lisa VanDyke’s daughter took advantage of that opportunity as she took in the sights. “It’s good seeing downtown being lively, and families coming down and enjoying it and shopping,” VanDyke said.
