Silver Sponsor Dean Bank will give out pumpkins and decorating kits at the October Stroll Thursday. |
Don't miss the October Stroll on Thursday, October 15, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in downtown Franklin!
“Our
shops are open, groups and businesses want to connect with residents in
Franklin and surrounding communities, and we are excited to offer some fun
activities in many locations around our downtown,” says Nicole Fortier, Franklin
Downtown Partnership president.
Many
activities are planned for the kids. Dean Bank will be giving out pumpkins
along with decorating kits to children at its 21 Main Street location.
The
Hockomock Area YMCA Bernon Family Branch will create a kids’ sports center in
the parking area behind Rockland Trust. It will be the ideal place for children
to burn off extra energy while trying out games and learning new sports skills.
Music
and entertainment are planned for seven different venues, including Dean Bank,
Rockland Trust, the Main Street parking lot, Jane’s Frames, The Cake Bar,
Simon’s Furniture and The Black Box.
Jamie
Barrett is scheduled to perform at Jane’s Frames, and Kevin Wolfe will entertain
visitors on Main Street. Franklin High School student musicians will perform at
The Cake Bar and Dean Bank. Go to www.franklindowntownpartnership.org for details about performance times.
The
Franklin Performing Arts Company will present a preview of “The Addams Family”
at 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at THE BLACK BOX, 15 West Central Street. Stop in
between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. and take a photo with a costumed cast member
from this production, based loosely on the 1960s TV show.
DJ
Domenic Cotoia of Music Odyssey Productions will entertain crowds browsing
booths in the parking lot on Main Street, and WMRC 1490-AM will broadcast live
from the event.
Downtown
stores and restaurants will offer specials and fall-themed treats at their
locations. Make time for cider and cookies at the Franklin Historical Museum
and take a tour of the latest displays.
Local businesses, crafters and groups will have booths at Simon’s Furniture on Summer Street and the patio on East Central Street. More vendor booths will be found along Sponsorship Row in the Main Street parking lot.
