The
Downtown Partnership has planned a progressive dinner for Sunday, May 15, and
invites everyone to come enjoy a night out in downtown Franklin.
Building
on the success and popularity of the first dinner last fall, organizers are
offering delicious options at several downtown restaurants. Dinner goers can
also take chances to win raffle items donated by FDP member businesses.
“Our
Progressive Dinner is one way we are reminding our community to visit
Franklin’s downtown eateries during the road construction process. What better
way than to have people walking through downtown, enjoying local restaurants
and entertainment with friends?” says event organizer Jane Curran, owner of
Jane’s Frames and FDP board member.
Diners
will choose from two different flights, with each flight including soup at one
restaurant, an appetizer at a second, then dinner and dessert at a third.
Flights will be staggered to begin every half hour beginning at 5:00 p.m.
“Flight
A” includes soup at Maguro House and appetizers at Bamboo House. “Flight B”
includes soup at Hang Tai and appetizers at Acapulco’s. Both flights feature
two options for dinner plus a delicious dessert at The Rome Restaurant, where
local musicians will provide a musical backdrop to the festivities.
Tickets
are $50 per person, including tips and taxes. Beverages are not included. Buy
tickets and see menus on the Partnership’s Progressive Dinner page, https://downtownfranklindinner2016.eventbrite.com. Links to the page are also posted on the FDP
website, www.franklindowntownpartnership.org/ and on the FDP Facebook page. Diners
will choose the start time and either “Flight A” or “Flight B” when they
purchase tickets online.
“We
are excited to bring the community together with this second Progressive Dinner,”
says event co-chair Joel Carrara.
Sponsorships
are available for this event. Contact Jane Curran at janeframe@verizon.net for more information or with questions
