I slipped in a small trivia question to check on the observational skills of the Franklin Matters readers. The answer to the Spruce Pond sign question is shown below and on the original posting earlier this week.
Updated 8/13/10:
The answer to the question is that the sign is the "old" one and not the one showing today:

The Franklin Police Department is looking to residents to help raise money for the annual Jimmy Fund Walk next month.
Chief Stephen Williams, with the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, will be participating in the event for the seventh year in a row and has put collection cans out at local businesses.
"Jimmy Fund canisters will be on display in local Franklin businesses from now throughout September,'' Williams said in a release. "We have always relied on the generosity of the businesses and residents of Franklin to make our fundraising for the fight against cancer a success."
To help Williams, visit www.jimmyfundwalk.org and click "support a walker" to make an online donation.
