Frankenfest on Main
Imagine if you will a very tired individual. Now, multiply that by about 15. That’d describe how many of us collapsed on Saturday night of Frankenfest last fall! J We had a wonderful time. It was stressful, and there was some hairpulling…and a few tables got tossed in the street (literally), but a good time was (generally) had by all.
So what is Frankenfest? FOM (Frankenfest on Main) was initially conceived as an event that the URC would hold to bring folks into downtown Franklinton, so that businesses could stay open, and allow people an opportunity to ‘rediscover’ downtown. It morphed into a festival for all ages, which held something for (hopefully) everyone. At FOM 2007, we somehow managed to have a multitude of vendors and several county agencies who participated. As well, the Franklinton Woman’s Club also hosted a car show in the downtown area, which was slightly affect by the weather, but was a great attraction. Over 600 people attended that first year, and the event received rave reviews.
This year’s event began in the planning stages in January. (A FULL six months prior to when we started planning last year’s event!) We’ve gotten over 30 vendor commitments already, which is VERY exciting! We’ve had a couple of businesses advertise with us already, and though we’ve hit a brief lull, we’ll be kicking back into high gear with planning and organizing in late July. Interested in having a booth? Want to advertise? Check out www.frankenfestonmain.org. Mark the date – October 25, 2008. We look forward to seeing you!
