Sunday afternoon, July 3, was warm with a hazy sky, typical for this time of year, and just right for Franklin's annual 4th of July Parade. There were many fire engines, probably more than last year, marching bands, horses, antique cars, clowns and more! Here are some of the photos.

Sunday, September 26 was a breezy fall day for the Franklin Downtown Partnership's annual Harvest Festival. There appeared to be more displays, vendors and people this year. Of course, there was food and all kinds of crafts for sale. Motorcycles, antique and vintage cars were on display, plus, live entertainment! Dancers performed in the street and three bands, Random Play, Knuf Said and Nothing To No One played to crowds of people.
The "Kids Zone" was in the Municipal Parking Lot, off of Depot Street, with various games for children, face painting and amusements.
All in all, the Harvest Festival was a wonderful event and growing in popularity every year.
The photographs below are just some of the images taken.You can view more on our "Events" Photo Gallery page. Below the photos is a link to it.

It was a VERY HOT day for Franklin's Fourth of July Parade. The Franklin Fire Department led with several trucks - sirens blairing! There appeared to be even more fire trucks this year than last. Area towns such as Bellingham, Norfolk, Medway and Wrentham, among others, were represented. Towns as far as Needham and Holland sent engines.
Of course, a parade isn't a parade without marching bands and there were a lot of them. In addition, there were local cub and boy scouts, floats and clowns. Franklin's Junior Miss Ashley Spencer was on one of the floats. Shriners from Wilmington, driving their miniature trucks, were wonderfully amusing! Our Wrentham neighbor and new U.S. Senator Scott Brown was walking in the parade as well as Congressman Jim McGovern, our State Rep Jim Vallee and State Senator Karen Spilka. SEE THE PHOTOS BELOW.
There are some video clips and once we edit them we will post them. There are many more photographs to be seen on our "Events" Photo Gallery. Below the photos is a link to them.
