Check out latest issue of Franklin Living

We are pleased to present the May/June issue of Franklin Living magazine.

In this issue we introduce a few new features that will enhance our bimonthly coverage of the people and places that make our community wonderful.

One new component is our What’s Happening section, highlighting some of the top events coming up in Franklin County. If you want to know where to go and what to do in May and June in our community, you’re going to want to check out What’s Happening.

In addition, a new feature takes the place of our Parting Shot. It’s called “Why I Love Franklin County.” In each edition we will share the thoughts of a local person and his or her take on everything that is wonderful about this county. The first installment of this new feature is a piece on Franklin County Chamber of Commerce director Cassie Medley.

We’re excited to debut a revamped Health and Wellness feature, with great tips and information to improve your wellbeing. We’ve partnered with Red Bay Hospital to bring this resource to you.

Another regular column will be a new faith-based piece by local minister Trae Durden. Be sure to let him know any faith-related topics you’d like to see tackled in Franklin Living.

Of course, we will continue to highlight, in full-length features, some of the wonderful people who make Franklin County a great place to live, work and play. In this issue we go in depth with Donald Ezzell, Emily Edmonson, Joey Allen and Gannon and Kristin Nunley.

We are honored to share the stories of so many great folks with our readers. We hope you’ll take the time to flip through Franklin Living and enjoy learning more about your Franklin friends and neighbors.
