Franklin 4th of July a huge success

To the Editor:

On behalf of the Franklin Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank those who helped to make Franklin’s Annual 4th of July Fireworks & Fun Day such a huge success. Businesses donated not only money but products, while others donated their time. These people willingly worked a long, hard day to provide the activities that were offered to the folks of Franklin.  To all, we say “thank you.” We also appreciate all the hard work our EMS and police did to help with the traffic and emergency needs.

Thanks to the Macon County Recreation Department and the Macon County Fair Association for allowing us to stage this event in the Recreation Park and the Wayne Proffitt Agricultural Center.

We here at the Franklin Chamber feel it is an honor to serve our residents and visitors.  We look forward to offering even more new and exciting activities in the future.  We invite all businesses to join us as we serve those who live in and visit this place we call home, Franklin, North Carolina.

The Staff and Board of the Franklin Chamber of Commerce

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
