Thursday Carnival Kickoff Features Mo Bounce, Food Booth & More

Above, Mo Bounce performing on the Common Thursday evening.

The sounds of the July 4 Coalition celebration echoed across the Common Thursday evening as the Carnival, with its rides, food booths, and games competed with live entertainment from Mo Bounce, described on their website as “Boston's uncut Funk, Soul and R&B party band. Performing a vast song list of the funkiest dance hits from past to present for all to enjoy.”

At last years event, a microburst closed down the shows just as Mo Bounce started to play. This year, the weather was more cooperative and scores of people arrived early to secure good viewing locations.

And after lots of work and minor glitches, all the community group food booths were up and running.

The Democrat Town Committee (DTC) food booth, working to fill their scholarship fund, was serving up Pizza (cheese or pepperoni), Bottled Water, Toast Cheese Sandwiches, S’more’s CONE (check it out!), and for canine friends, Dog Biscuits (8/bag)...

We have two types of members: Elected Members (35 members are voted on by registered Franklin Democrats on the primary ballot.) We also have a large number of Associate members. In total, we have about 130 active members on our list.

The Republican Town Committee (RTC) food booth, was serving up Nachos, Root Beer Floats, and Watermelon Cups (watermelon cut into bite-size pieces and served in a cup)...
