Washington and Pleasant Streets are so heavily traveled some one must have seen somebody taking the construction signs. If you saw something, please contact the Franklin Police.

Farmers Market Week

I hope you made a visit to the Framers Market on the Town Common this week. News from Governor Patrick's office is that he has declared this week "Farmers Market Week":
Farmers’ Market Week: Governor Deval Patrick has proclaimed the week of August 16 -22 Farmers’ Market Week, saying that these markets are “essential to the vitality of Massachusetts farms.” Farmers markets have continued to grow around the Commonwealth nearly doubling in size over the last decade. Events will be taking place all over the state during this week. Read more in the Eagle Tribune, Arlington Advocate and the Hingham Journal.

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.

Farmer's Market open today

The Farmer's Market is open for normal hours from noon to 6:00 PM today.
