FRANKLIN LIVING MAY/JUNE 2018 —

More than 200 people participated in Franklin County’s three Easter egg hunts in March, hosted by the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce. It was a windy, chilly day, but that didn’t stop families from grabbing their baskets and heading out to Russellville, Phil Campbell and Red Bay to enjoy the annual festivities and meet the guest of honor – the Easter Bunny.

Treat-filled eggs were in great supply, but candy wasn’t the only treat children walked away with – or rode away with. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, a number of children won free bicycles as part of the Easter festivities.
