Rod & Gun Club, Jan 19 from 7:30 - 11 AM |
"New year, same delicious (and affordable) breakfast down at the Franklin Rod & Gun Club.
This month's all-you-can-eat extravaganza is Jan. 19 from 7:30-11 am at 53 Florence St. in Franklin.
Eggs, pancakes (plain & chocolate chip), French toast, home fries, sausage, corned beef hash, baked beans, and coffee/juice. All-you-can-eat.
And it's only $10 (just $5 for kids 12 and under). Ten. Freaking. Bucks. For as much food as you want!
We'll have a fire going to keep you warm and we've even got some free video games the kids can play while you're finishing up eating. Or the parents can play the video games while the kids eat.
You do you, we don't judge.
And if there's anything left over, we donate the rest of the food to Gilly's House to help our friends in recovery.
Good food, good prices, and good deeds. We look forward to serving you on Sunday."

Also included will be an ongoing showing of vintage R&G films recently rediscovered and digitized. Display will continue through October 27.

The Community Preservation Committee met on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 as scheduled. One item was on the agenda.
Alan Earls, Historical Commission Chair, provided an update on the funding being looked for by the Rod & Gun Club to digitize some films from the 1940's & 1950's. The Club may have already done so but any funding would help them cover the costs (approx. $3,000).
Committee expressed desire to see a sample of the output before committing to fund. Details were being arranged to do so.
