A good turnout for the Halloween Festival
The Franklin Police Department held their annual Halloween Festival at Franklin High School on Sunday. With great sunshine, they spread their fun and games outside as well as inside the field house.
Officer Eric Cusson was just sitting.
Then he got wet!
Chief Steve Williams was dry.
Then he got wet! (Hey, wasn't that cheating?)
My what big spiders there are here in Franklin!
Look at all the things to do!
Everyone (big kids and little) had smiles on their faces.

You can view the most recent meeting notes where this was discussed here.

Reduce your carbon impact - start today
On this day, over four thousand events taking place simultaneously in over 175 nations will be held to raise awareness on climate change. This brief video from New Zealand captures the spirit of the event and it's importance.
What can you do to reduce your carbon intake?
Visit the Franklin Area Climate Team (FACT) for information and links to 350.org and other informative sites.
Not sure who to believe on the climate change issue? This video I found the most convincing argument. Take ten minutes to view this and see if you can decide to take action today.
The team will host a Cut the Carbon event on Saturday at 3 p.m. in front of Foxborough Universalist Church at 6 Bird St., Foxborough.
Additional details can be found here
