In the News: Pokewalk on the SNETT, children's center director named

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"Just more than 10 people lined up at the Grove Street entrance to the Southern New England Trunkline Trail (SNETT) Monday morning to catch Pokemon and hatch eggs.

Renata Gilarova, a member of the committee, led the walk. She said it was a good opportunity to encourage trail awareness. 
"(In the app), you need to walk to hatch eggs - the straighter the line you walk, the better," she said. "We're also trying to map out where there could be Poke Stops (areas where players can collect supplies) along the trail, for when they start taking applications for Poke Stops."
