A summer day in September? Yup, it can happen (audio)

A summer day in September? 


Yup, it can happen, and it brought out the crowds to the Annual Harvest Festival in downtown Franklin, on Saturday, Sep 27. From the triangle to School St, Main St was chockfull of families, vendors, organizations, sprinkled with games and live music. It was clear a good time was had by all!


This week brings the formal transition from September to October. 

  • The Pumpkin Patch opens Sunday the 28th at St John’s

  • Franklin Cultural Council and Agricultural Committee are scheduled to meet on Monday, Sep 29

  • Franklin Housing Authority and Franklin School Committee meet on Tuesday, Sep 30

  • The Board of Health meets on Wednesday, Oct 1

  • The Franklin Commission on Disability and Conservation Commission are scheduled to meet on Thursday, Oct 2

  • The Farmers Market returns to the Town Common on Friday with only a few more times remaining before closing down for the season

  • The Fire Dept holds an Open House on Saturday, Oct 4 to close out the week


No matter the weather, we are also into our biennial election season. Let’s keep the conversations going in a civil and respectful manner.

*** Looking back at the week that was ***



The Planning Board met on Monday, Sep 22. The Franklin TV video can be found -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrUCN7h3ohU 


The 2nd of the 3 opportunities to tour the current Police Station and view the existing conditions was poorly attended on Tuesday, Sep 23. One more is currently scheduled for Sunday, Oct 5 at 6:00 PM


The Town Council held an Executive Session on Wednesday. We are likely to find out what it entails at a future meeting. This session was a hold over from the one at the end of their Sep 17 meeting which apparently ran out of time to complete the required business.


The Zoning Board of Appeals met on Thursday, Sep 25. The Franklin TV video can be found -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbZgtnLczFc 


On the sports front:

Franklin TV broadcast the FHS boys soccer game on Sep 25
