Franklin County Marketplace opens April 2
The Franklin County Marketplace will open for the first time on April 2. This event will allow Franklin County residents to come together the first Saturday of each month to market their homegrown and handmade products.
The monthly event will be held at the Franklin County Farmer’s Market area next to the A.W. Todd Center in downtown Russellville.

The April market will feature a special guest – the Easter Bunny. Franklin the Easter Bunny will be available for photos from 10 a.m. to noon.
The Franklin County Marketplace is open from 7 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of each month. The schedule for April is as follows:
• 8 a.m. door prizes
• 9 a.m. gardening tips
• 10 a.m. special entertainment by Savannah Mills
• 10 a.m. to 12 noon photos with Franklin the Easter Bunny
