Franklin Living: Marathon runner, love never dims, and more

There’s a lot of interesting folks in Franklin County, and we’re pleased to highlight them in our magazine, Franklin Living. The May/June issue is now available.

If you’re a subscriber, it should arrive inside your regular copy of the newspaper. We have yellow boxes located around the county with free copies. You can also come by our office, No. 7 in the Byars Building in downtown Russellville. You can also read our online version by clicking HERE.

In this issue, you’ll learn about a Russellville marathon runner who has completed all six world major marathons, a Red Bay couple who renews their wedding vows every day, and the story of how a Russellville resident uses her creative spark to fill life’s gaps.

Elsewhere in the magazine, you’ll find new recipes to try and columns about faith, finance and food. You’ll even get reading recommendations that may help you find your next favorite book.

Let’s not forget our advertisers and other area businesses. Shopping from local businesses really makes a difference, not only for the individuals/families running them, but also for the community through the tax dollars it generates. Every little bit helps.

Let’s support Franklin County and help our favorite businesses stay in business, thriving and continuing to grow!
