While we’re still getting a whole lot of photos and videos together, we wanted to shout out a few Unsung Heroes from yesterday’s Eddie Grant Kickball Tournament. Without contributions from each of these groups, we wouldn’t have gotten off the ground.

Thank You (TY) to Franklin Recreation Department and Ryan Jette for not only opening their “doors,” to us at Beaver Pond yesterday, but for truly rolling out the red carpet. What a fabulous site we hope to call home for many Junes to come.

TY to the incomparable Cam Afonso, who donated/printed all of the signage for our tremendous sponsors.

TY to Dan at Dan Brown at Kapitol Photography for volunteering his time and efforts to capture our on-field action and Opening Ceremonies. More of Dan’s beautiful work to come.

And TY to Gary Horton and HPG for their super generous donations of our Volunteer shirts — the wicking fabric was very much needed on a hot day!

BTW, we’ve still got Grant Tourney hats and t-shirts available for sale. Reach out to get the kickball player and/or fan in your life outfitted with the coolest swag in town.

Franklin Matters Weekly was proud to sponsor this inaugural event. Video is being processed of the opening ceremonies, games, and the dunk tank action. It will be shared as soon as ready
