Franklin Downtown Partnership recap of the Strawberry Stroll

I missed out on the Strawberry Stroll but you can view these photos and write up from the Franklin Downtown Partnership website:

Our Strawberry Stroll brought hundreds to Downtown Franklin on Thursday for an afternoon of fun, friends, entertainment, shopping, and, of course, those delicious Strawberry Shortcakes.

Thanks to our event organizers, co-chairs Jane Curran of Jane's Frames and Nicole Fortier of Dean Bank for a fun, safe and entertaining afternoon!
Thanks go to our wonderful and generous sponsors too!
  • Platinum Sponsors Dean Bank and Big Y World Class Market
  • Gold Sponsor Dean College for the mouthwatering strawberries and shortcakes
  • Silver Sponsor DCU
  • Bronze Sponsors Chestnut Dental, Franklin Ford and Middlesex Savings Bank
  • Friends of the Festival Sponsors Keefe Insurance and Leaf Filter
  • Local dairy company Garelick Farms provided the whipped topping on the shortcakes


Finally, thanks to the Franklin DPW and the Franklin Police Department for keeping the public safe while strolling through town.

A few photos from the Stroll are below. For more shots from the afternoon be sure to watch the slideshow in the upper right-hand side of the Downtown Partnership webpage.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

   Franklin Liquors and Franklin Wine Club Deliver Immersive Wine Education Experience with Quini

Group first in Massachusetts to adopt the Quini wine tasting standard and application in education

Vancouver, Canada - June 11, 2014 - Quini, an interactive wine tasting, rating and recommendations application and data solutions provider (www.quiniwine.com) today announced an agreement with Franklin Liquors and Franklin Wine Club (www.franklinliquors.com) to integrate Quini into the group's wine education courses to enhance student engagement and learning with Quini's unique, interactive five step tasting structure and standard.

Franklin Liquors and Wine Club becomes the first organization in the state of Massachusetts and the United States to incorporate Quini in wine education, with new courses featuring live use of Quini on iPhone, iPad, wireless computers and tablets set to begin later this month. The company offers a comprehensive wine course series at its retail premises in Franklin and will apply Quini across a number of adult wine education programs in the region.

"We're excited to partner with progressive thinkers such as Franklin Liquors and Franklin Wine Club to introduce meaningful change to wine education in Massachusetts," said Roger Noujeim, CEO, Quini. "Mark Lenzi's experience and visionary approach to the wine business are reflected in his company's early recognition of the Quini wine tasting standard and the importance of interactive technology in wine education."

"Quini has instantly positioned us for success with today's increasingly digital consumer," said Mark Lenzi, CSW, CSS, CWAS and proprietor, Franklin Liquors and Wine Club. "We are proud to be first in Massachusetts to offer interactive wine courses around the Quini application and standard."

Said Dr. Clinton Lee, DWS, AIWS, FWS, CSW, CSS, Vinoscenti Global CEO and wine program instructor at Simon Fraser University: "Quini introduces an innovative, world class wine tasting system and standard that deepens the learning experience and ensures consistent course delivery and learning. With consumers spending more and more time on their mobile devices and computers, Quini is a natural fit and sets the wine education segment on a new course."

Quini announced its school program in May. The program incorporates a comprehensive school partner support package that includes educator training, course materials and certification, technical support and school-branded student study materials and certification. The program is designed to augment and support - rather than replace - existing wine school curriculums.
