Harvest Festival - a successful sunny day in Franklin (photo essay)

There were hundreds, maybe thousands, of folks walking downtown, along Main St, along Depot St, enjoying music at the Dean Ave corner (Dancin' on Dean), along the Rockland Trust parking lot, into THE BLACK BOX parking lot, crossing West Central St to the Historical Museum. How do you count that kind of crowd? Forget about counting, just enjoy it!

some of the early crowd along Main St

State Rep Jeff Roy decked out for Ben Gardner's boat

Fire Dept. was visible, they will have their own October fire safety open house Saturday, Oct 9 from 10 AM to 2 PM

a 'meta' moment, Pete shares a photo with Chris, while I take theirs

vendor booths were plentiful, including newly open Fresh Start Market

activities for families ran the gamut including painting pumpkins at Franklin Agway booth

the only time the food court tables were empty was when they were set up

Thanks to the Franklin Downtown Partnership and to the many hands that made this such a success!
