National Day of Prayer

Franklin County is celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary with a special event today that coincides with the National Day of Prayer.

Franklin County TN 250 will be held at the old Franklin County High School football field, 839 Dinah Shore Blvd., from 4-8 p.m. with the National Day of Prayer program to take place at 6 p.m.

Franklin County Mayor Chris Guess explained details during a recent county government gathering and extended an invitation to the public to attend the event.

“We hope we will have a lot of people who will participate,” he said. “We hope everyone enjoys this and has a great time celebrating TN 250.”

Guess said the event will feature family-friendly fun with youth games, bounce houses and food trucks, and public-safety vehicles will be on display.

A special mural will also be featured, items will be given away and booths from local non-profit organizations will be on hand.

Live entertainment will feature The Orange Charlie Band and The Stagger Moon Band.
