Hallmark moments on their way

11/27/2021

The trees have arrived in Fountain Park and at least one sponsor, Carter Appraisal Services, got right to work stringing lights. By next weekend the park will be loaded with decorated trees in time for Franklin's Old Fashioned Christmas celebration.

Last year COVID forced the Barrow-Civic Christmas Tree
Extravaganza to shift gears and move outside.

The move proved to be so popular that his year the Franklin Fine Arts Council, after the Barrow decided to host their traditional indoor event, decided to do it again with the help of the Rotary and French Creek Farms.

Beith said recently that she really thought it added even more holiday beauty to the town.

Tree sponsors will have this week to perfect their display. Last year several photos where shared around the world of the beautiful display. especially after the snowfall.

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.
