Thursday evening was the FDP's sixth annual Holiday Stroll. The tree lighting on the Dean College campus kicked off the event, and then visitors took to the streets to discover crafts, activities, musical entertainment, sales, gifts and treats. Santa and Mrs. Claus were there, as was Frosty!
Thanks to our event coordinators Gregg Chalk and Roberta Trahan for organizing this fun event, and to the Franklin Police Department for traffic detail.
And a big thank you goes to our sponsors, whose support helped to make this event sparkle and shine!
