"Ben Franklin stuffies are now available to take home"

"Ben Franklin stuffies are now available to take home"

via Franklin Police Dept:

"We know it can be tough to catch a sighting of Ben Franklin over the summer, and since everyone always asks if they can take him home, we decided it was time to say YES!

Ben Franklin stuffies are now available to take home with you, just stop by the station with $20 and tell them you’d like to adopt.

And make sure you keep his little ones with you because if you run into him he’s going to want to check up on them."

Great Community Story

Sarah Mabardy and Chaplin Bob
pose with the board setting up for the Stroll

A great community story.

If you were at the Franklin Downtown Partnership ’s strawberry stroll yesterday (Friday), You may have seen this game board at the booth for the Franklin Public School’s Mental Health and Well Being Task Force.

It was made possible by the combined efforts of the American Legion (built), PG Custom Crafts (prepped and finished) and June Mint Designs (Art). A true coming together of a kindness in Franklin.

You will see it again at the harvest festival this fall, Please stop by.
