BREAKING: Over the weekend, the combined TC/SC team, “Executive Session,” announced that Town Administrator Jamie Hellen has officially joined their roster for the Eddie Grant Kickball Tourney on Sunday, 6/14.

Today, Tournament officials also confirmed that Jamie has agreed to be added to ANOTHER lineup this coming Sunday…the Franklin Fathers’ Dunk Tank 🤿 ‼️

Proceeds from the FF Dunk Tank, specifically, are going to our wonderful friends at the Franklin Food Pantry🤝

Couple that with our 50/50 raffle’s proceeds going to American Legion Post 75 in honor of Captain Grant, and we’re feeling pretty good about doing some good for two deserving local organizations 🔴🇺🇸

A sincere TY to Jamie and our other tank invitees for being such wonderful sports. More dunk tank invitees, kickball cards, and raffle prize announcements on their way 👀 👀

It should be a great day for ALL down at Beaver Pond this Sunday, starting at 9 AM!

BREAKING: Thank you to Franklin Department of Public Works for all their help putting us on the map!

No, seriously, we’re on this map 👇👇👇

Due to a road closure at Beaver St. this weekend, make sure to take Grove when traveling to and from the EGKT on Sunday!

We’re not letting one little detour stop our flow…of family fun!
