Mrs. Claus has canceled her photo session at the Historical Museum

Unfortunately, the photo session on Sunday at the Historical Museum has been canceled out of an abundance of caution for Mrs. Claus, all of the children, and their families.

Mrs. Claus wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and hopes to see all again next year. She also would like to remind the children to read over their school holiday break and remain safe.

Mrs. Claus to Visit the Franklin Historical Museum

~~Come to the Historical Museum Sunday, December 19 from 1:00-3:00 PM for a visit with Mrs. Claus. She’s making another special visit from the North Pole just before Christmas.~~

Children can listen to her read a story, pose with her for a picture and enjoy making a holiday craft. Certainly, if you have a message for Santa, Mrs. Claus will be happy to help relay it. Enjoy this annual tradition with your family.

~~Please bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Franklin Food Pantry.~~

Franklin overcame a slow second quarter, surged past the Bombardiers in the third, and stayed ahead for good in the fourth for a 52-47 win over visiting Attleboro.

The Panthers went without points for the final seven minutes of the first half, seeing a seven-point lead turn into a nine-point deficit by halftime.

O’Leary, who had a strong first quarter but was held scoreless in the second, exploded for 17 of his career-high 23 points in the second half. He scored 12 points in the third, helping the Panthers to a 14-point swing and a 38-33 lead going into the fourth."
