In the News: Taste of the Region; medicinal marijuana deliveries

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"The “Taste of the Region” will take place from 6-9 p.m. Oct. 24 at Tri-County Regional Vocational High School, 147 Pond St. 
Last year’s event drew a record crowd of well over 500 attendees. Guests are primarily employees of the many companies and residents around the 16-town region. 
Load-in and set-up will be between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. on the day of the event. 
Participants will be expected to provide approximately 300 hot or cold samplings of dishes that best reflect their restaurant or hotel; Sternos to keep food warmed as there will be limited electricity to the individual tables; and one or two people to assist with serving food and answering questions from guests."
