Yes there is plenty to do during "A Wreath of Franklin" on Saturday, Dec 13

FHS Music students

What’s better than live music while having your coffee, the answer is nothing! 

We’re excited to include Franklin High School Music dept. students into Saturday’s festivities! They will be popping up @birchwoodbakeryandkitchen from 11 AM - 3 PM. 

Pop up Shops at THE BLACK BOX

Special shoutout to Diane Plouffe, Director of Visual and Performing Arts at Franklin High School School and the team @birchwoodbakeryandkitchen for making this opportunity happen

Council Candidate Coffee Chat - Sunday, Nov 2 from Noon to 2 PM

Via Ken Ojukwu

"I’m running for Town Council and want to answer your questions. Social media has its uses, but it’s hard to beat in person interactions. 

I’m inviting you to an informal coffee chat this Sunday at Birchwood Bakery between noon and 2 PM. I’m happy to chat about Franklin, my candidacy or something else that you want to know about. Other candidates may also join. This is an informal event where I’ll likely have a cinnamon roll and a hot drink and hopefully good discussion about the priorities for and direction of our town. 

I have only 2 asks:

1. Respect! The goal is civil discourse

2. Vote! Every single vote matters 

I honestly hope to see you there. Thank you for caring about Franklin. 

(Note: if I can figure out how, I’m turning off comments on this post because online always exists and I really want to talk to you in person.)"

Why are there multiple calendars?

What's happening today in Franklin? 

Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:
