RED MOLLY
at the Circle of Friends Coffeehouse

with special guest
Layah Jane

WE EXPECT THIS SHOW TO SELL OUT SO GET YOUR TICKETS NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.

Red Molly is a female trio playing fun, infectious Americana. They will return to the Circle of Friends Coffeehouse in Franklin on Saturday, October 19th at 8PM. Red Molly consistently brings concert-goers to their feet with stunning three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship, and a warm, engaging stage presence. Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Molly Venter have a lot of fun on stage, and it's contagious.

"Everything Red Molly sings is delivered with tick-tight arrangements, crystalline vocals, and caramel harmonies. But what is most striking is the ardor they bring to everything they do, whether snuggling into the sweet parochialism of an old spiritual, or the gritty pathos of a Gillian Welch tune."
-Scott Alarik, The Boston Globe

Canadian Folk/Soul songstress Layah Jane opens the show. She is a burst of joy onstage - a velvet voiced tunesmith of tender, clever, conscientious Canadiana that seeps into the soul. Layah is the winner of numerous awards including the Ontario Independent Music Awards for Best Female Artist, Best Folk Performer, and a Toronto Independent Music Award for Best Jazz. Layah Jane

"With a voice that's both sweet and rich, and a delicious, deep-groove approach, Toronto artist Layah Jane has found her sound and honey's the word for it....Folk flavours with a soul feel..." -Roots Music Canada

"discussions on hiring new teachers"

From the School Committee meeting on Tuesday, the Milford Daily News reports:

Assistant Superintendent Sally Winslow told the School Committee on Tuesday that elementary class sizes "are the best they’ve been in a while because our enrollment is down." 
However, Winslow said the three middle schools have "pockets" of large class numbers, particularly in the core subjects, with at least one those classes having as many as 35 pupils. 
Most concerning, she said, is the size of high school science classes, such as physics and chemistry. The average class size for 11th-grade physics is 27 students, while 10th-grade chemistry has an average of 23.

Franklin's Saville Bennett, 103, presented with Boston Post Cane

In the year Saville Bennett was born, the Model T Ford had been on the assembly line for just two years, World War I was several years away, women's dresses were just starting to inch above the ankles, and the modern zipper had yet to be invented.

A walk around the Harvest Festival before the rains came! (photo essay)

In addition to setting up and taking down the Franklin Food Pantry tent for the Harvest Festival, I managed to get around to visit with a number of businesses. Once the rain came, the camera went under cover.

The Franklin Art Center also has a community project underway to create a lollipop field at the new Sculpture Park. (I heard there actually is a couple of sculptures already in place. I need to get back out for a visit soon!)

Yes, one of the reasons behind our participation in this event is to help folks know where we are located. The new truck and brilliant logo (Ian Kabat from the Franklin Art Center worked with the Food Pantry to design it) will help let everyone know where we are!

without sponsors, the event couldn't happen
Thanks to the Downtown Partnership for a great event! Maybe next year the weather will cooperate!

Busy week ahead of the long weekend!

The Parmenter School sign shows a busy week and then a long weekend!
