Franklin has recently been host to many exciting community events surrounding the Halloween holiday such as, “Young Frankenstein” at the Artcraft theatre; soon to host All About Eve. And if that’s not your cup of tea you can always hop over to bingo night at the Senior Center. Maybe do a little Friday Night Jamboree with the family at the Franklin Senior Center held every third Friday of the month. In all types of weather you can enjoy some of the finest scenery at one of the many parks Franklin has to offer. Franklin Action Park hosts skateboarding, inline skating and extreme bicyclist events.

The schools offer a large curriculum with focus on the competitive workforce. They offer a wide range of training and give the kids priceless memories. Just recently the children went to Louisville, Kentucky, on a school field trip, took a cruise and toured the factory where the make the infamous Louisville slugger. The children in this community never fake a sick day going to school here is like their second home.

Creekside Elementary was named a four star school by Indiana Department of Education. The teachers get to know every student and foster a great, caring learning environment. Success is in the forecast for children in this community and I am proud to be a part of it. Even while attending yard sales in neighboring communities such as Greenwood and Whiteland I feel as if everyone here is a friend and trusty neighbor. Even in the Greenwood Mall or shopping at Macy’s or Walmart this great community will always make you feel at home.

With it’s great schools, close to home competitive college, state of the art hospital and advanced community resources Franklin is a fast growing community with great opportunities for it’s young leaders. A wonderful place to call home, to get a great employment opportunity and to grow some roots. Stop by and I’ll put the coffee on.
