| Franklin Green Community recognition event - Jun 7 |
"The town has deemed the strawberry shortcake a staple of summer, and in 2002 Franklin made it a point to celebrate the fruity dessert with a Strawberry Stroll.
Sixteen years later, the stroll will shut down the roads on half of downtown and down Dean Street where more than 100 vendors and two live music performances on Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. will bring the spirit of summer to Franklin.
This will be the first time the event is held on a Friday. The intention is to get families to spend time in local stores and restaurants throughout the night.
It’s easy to say that there are more than a few residents that mark the event on their calendars, said chairman of the Downtown Partnership, Lisa Piana."

"The Franklin Public Library, 118 Main St., will host local author Arlyn Halpern on Tuesday, June 5 at 6:30 p.m.
Halpern, a psychotherapist and writer, will give a talk about her new memoir, “Dancing into the Light.” It’s a heartwarming tale of her journey from a challenging childhood in suburban Chicago to self-discovery and greater wisdom through dance, living in three countries, and intensively studying mindfulness and meditation in India and the U.S. with a Buddhist master. It’s a compelling tale of love, loss, adventure, humor, and personal and spiritual growth.
“There are many joyful and funny experiences (in the book) - dancing in a carnival at age 15 and falling in love to name a few,” says Halpern."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

"The Hockomock League is invading the Super 8 tournament.
For the first time in its five year existence, the Super 8 will include a Hockomock team; two teams, in fact, as both Mansfield and Franklin were selected by the tournament committee at the MIAA offices on Sunday evening.
Mansfield was the fourth team nominated in the first round and Franklin was put up for discussion three teams later. Both received a 5-2 vote from committee members, which put them into the second round for reconsideration.
BC High and St. John’s Prep were the only two teams of the 14 nominated that received unanimous 7-0 votes in the first round to get automatic bids. Franklin and Mansfield were joined by Central Catholic, Wachusett, Walpole, Austin Prep, St. John’s Shrewsbury, Catholic Memorial and Lexington up for consideration in the second round.
...
After the teams were selected for the Super 8, the committee voted on the seeding. Mansfield earned the #5 seed and will play at #4 Central Catholic. Franklin was seeded at #7 and will travel to play #2 Wachusett. Both games are scheduled for Wednesday at 4:00 PM."
