From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"Volunteers are needed to help install wreaths, bows and greenery as the Franklin Downtown Partnership and Franklin Garden Club are joining forces to decorate the downtown on Sunday.

Interested volunteers will meet Beautification Chairperson Eileen Mason at 9 a.m. Sunday at the downtown bridges. Community service hours are available for students. Groups and teams are encouraged to participate.

Help is also needed at noon Saturday at Hillside Nurseries to sort greens.

“We enjoy making the downtown Franklin festive during the holidays every year,” Mason said in a statement. “We’re a group of volunteers and we’re only able to take on these projects with a lot of help from the community. We are very appreciative of all the volunteer help and Hillside Nurseries for sourcing the greens, wreaths and decorations. Thank you to the Franklin DPW for its support as well. We hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday season!”
