The 20th Annual Strawberry Stroll is ready to go. This town favorite is set for Friday, June 7 from 4 to 8
PM. The rain date is Saturday, June 8, from 4 to 8 PM. The stroll is
held on Main Street which will be closed to traffic so visitors can
easily and safely walk. Come to downtown Franklin to start your summer!
Dean
Bank’s staff will be serving the signature strawberry shortcakes under
tents in front of the bank. Fresh strawberries donated and cut by Dean

cream. Proceeds from strawberry shortcake sales are allocated to the
Downtown Partnership to help fund the event.
Here’s what else you can expect:
