Christmas is an old thing.....unless you're a kid

12/4/2021

Franklin held its look back on tradition Saturday with the city's retail association's Old Fashion Christmas. Though not every kid was excited to see Santa, many families were excited to get downtown to shop and take advantage of the small town holiday flair.

Folks have been walking through the trees in Fountain Park decorated for the holidays.

Barr's Insurance was replenishing their tree "ornaments" Saturday. Barr's has taken on the "Giving Tree" model with the theme of keeping people warm during the holiday.

The insurance company tree is stocked with hot cocoa, hand warmers and socks for people who need them to freely take.

The true meaning of Christmas.

Oil City also brought in the Christmas season with their light up night Friday and Christmas Past Celebration this weekend.

Eight & 322

Losing his job after 23 years, Richard Sayer decided to tell stories on his own. Using the crossroads as a metaphor for life and the physical location, he is now telling regional stories stemming outward from where Routes 322 and 8 cross in Franklin, PA. "I am looking for stories to tell and hope to find my inner Charles Kuralt." Eight and 322 is also beginning to expand with other contributors and the development of a print product that will hopefully launch this fall.
