In the News: FHS preparing for Rolling Stones tribute concert; self-serve gas coming to Milford

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

"The golden age of rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well at the Franklin High School as the band, orchestra, and chorus rehearse for the upcoming Rolling Stones tribute concert. 
Last year, the school hired a Beatles cover band to rock the class out to the new year, but now they’re shifting the rock spectrum to their 60s competitors, The Rolling Stones.
