"Finding the Light" in Franklin from Nov 27 to Dec 18

"Greetings art lovers!  

Beginning on holiday weekend, Nov 27- December 18, I will leave a piece of art at an undisclosed location for the Franklin community members to find. 

This collection is called "Finding the Light" and it is part 2 of last year’s kick off. 

I created this series during my Artist in Residence role for Natick 2021. I had just lost my father. This prompted me to imagine how many others are coping through pain and loss around the holiday season, sparking the need to share "light".   

In that same spirit, I mean for it to be uplifting, bring hope, joy and giving around the holidays.  

Come to this page for clues and an image to help you find it easily. The clues may be released early each week, but the art will be placed on Sunday mornings. "

Minuteman Library Crawl - Wednesday, August 1

The Franklin Library is taking part in the Minuteman Library Crawl on Wednesday, Aug 1, 2018 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

"A “crawl,” or tour, is a fun way to visit multiple libraries in your area. You can travel from library to library, meet the friendly staff and learn more about what the libraries around have to offer! This is your passport to a day full of fun and adventure. 

We have many different libraries on the crawl. The challenge is to visit as many as you can and take a picture of yourself with a designated item in each library – it’s a 21st century scavenger hunt! Then, please post your pics and tag the library. 

If you get to at least 5 libraries, you’ll get a highly coveted prize (one prize per group). Just show your pics to the librarians. 

And, check out the Web App for it: http://minutemanlibrarycrawl.org/"

Lady Bug Trek is "meant to just be fun."

The Strawberry Stroll has ended but reasons to get out and about to Franklin's small businesses have not.

A mobile app-assisted scavenger hunt through more than a dozen small Franklin businesses is getting underway today, Friday, June 12 and will continue through the end of the month. 

The Lady Bug Trek is the first collaborative activity of the recently formed Franklin Small Shop Co-op, featuring special offers from participating businesses and a chance at a grand prize of $1,100 in gift cards. 

"We created the Small Shop Co-op for small businesses to collaborate, so this was sort of born out of that," said Tracie Turinese, co-owner of The Cake Bar in downtown Franklin. 

A total of 15 businesses are part of the fun, including Franklin Liquors, Franklin Yoga & Wellness, Salon Sorella, Making Whoopie, Emmas Quilt Cupboard, Mac Deli, The Cake Bar, Hillside Nurseries & Farm, Elizabeth's Bagels, Terrazza, Pretty is Pink, NHS Printing, Daddario Hardware, Franklin Art Center and Jane's Frames.
