Third Thursday - 8/20/09
It was a hot day here in Franklin. The thunderstorm that blew through quickly during the afternoon did not do much to cool off the area. As the sun set, the evening's activities were beginning for Third Thursday.
Maybe you couldn't make it downtown as you had some yard work to catch up on. Eileen Mason watered and weeded the plants in the island and along the railroad bridge covering for some one who had volunteered but had not yet come out this week to do so.
Meanwhile, on the "breezeway" next to Cafe Dolce, the brothers mccann were playing to a growing crowd of admirers.
Pat McCann worked the keyboards and waited for brother Mike's cue
Mike McCann appreciated Pat waiting for him. Together they had the crowd full of smiles and applause.
Cafe Dolce was pleased with the size of the crowd. Other businesses have seen an increase in traffic due to the Third Thursday events.
In September, mark the date (Sep 17th) and come on downtown to the happenings in Franklin.
Third Thursday is a production of the Franklin Downtown Partnership Merchants Committee.
