The administrative team is working on constructing a new more accessible website for the Franklin community. As part of this project, we're seeking photographers to populate our website pages with imagery of our town and community members.
We seek talented photographers to help bring our vision to life through compelling visuals. The photographs will be used across various platforms, including our website, social media channels, and print materials.

FM #1220 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1220 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares the conversation with my Franklin TV & Radio colleague Frank Falvey. We are joined by Franklin’s Recreation Director Ryan Jette who wears 2 more hats for this discussion. Ryan plays as a member of the South Street 6 band scheduled for Franklin’s PorchFest, June 1. Ryan is also on the PorchFest Committee.
Our conversation starts with South Street Six, gets into PorchFest, meanders along to other cultural events in Franklin during the summer, and then comes back to finish with PorchFest.
We met to record this conversation in the Franklin TV & Radio studios on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.
