Franklin County Marketplace
Objective - To enhance the already established Farmers Market by providing our Franklin County producers, artisans and crafts people a venue to display and sell their craft or goods directly to the general public. This will create more community interest, encourage residents to shop locally and entice visitors to come to Franklin County.
Location - The current Farmers market location and surrounding areas. It is known that the farmers will have first pick of the booths. Any booths not occupied would then be open to other vendors or they may use a tent.
