Fun Festival 2009 

"And a good time was had by all.." would have been a good theme for the 2009 Fun Festival/Hot Dog Festival.  Arrington Enterprises Incorporated and Flowers Bakery help sponsor free hot dogs to the first 150 people to buy a drink.  Other sponsors of the night's events were: Franklin News Post, Professional Therapies, Franklin Finance, J & J Fashions, Flowers by Jones, Central Oil Company, Jamison Electric, Cox's Fashions, Dale Angle, Barney Bay Dairy, J & R Garage, McCall Insurance, Sleep Safe Beds, Rocky Mount Supply, Layman's Contracting, Main Street Tax and Mortgage Service, Attorney Tonya Janney, Hometown Ice, and 619 Minute Market.  Woodmen of the World, agent Steve Bishop, provided a blow up slide for an additional children's activity.

2010 Fun Festival

The 2010 Fun Festival was held on June 21, 2010.  While tempatures were high, so was the enthusiasm of the attendees.  Dancing went on just like the participants were in an air conditioned building. 

Flat footing contestants kicked up their heels and had a good time.

When the time came to cool down volunteers provided a way to do that, too.

Plenty of children's games and activities provided a fun time for all.

FCRMA wishes to thank the volunteers, sponsors, dancers and band for all of their support.  Major sponsors were Sleepsafe Beds, Franklin News Post, Flowers Bakery, 619 Minute Market.  Also, Professional Therapies Inc provided several volunteers without which the Festival could not have happened.  The kitchen was manned by volunteers from Gladehill School Cafeteria.  Other volunteers were from Flowers By Jones and several family members of FCRMA.  Thanks to all.  Photos supplied by and used by permission of the Franklin News Post.
