5th Annual Beaver Pond Plunge opens the New Year

It was a smaller group to participate likely due to the weather and ice. The pond ice needed to be broken to allow for the plunge of a couple of folks at a time.

The snow did stop and sun did come out from the clouds before the plunge competed.

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:
