FARMS, FOOD, FUN IN FRANKLIN

This weekend, Franklin County has some really cool stuff planned.

First of all, a bunch of farms are opening their doors for the Franklin County Farm Foods and Crafts Tour. The self-guided tour goes from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The cost is $5 per person over 12 years old. Some of the farms will have activities for children and will have various wares for sale. Tickets for the tour can be purchased online at www.franklincountyfarmfresh.com, where you can download a brochure listing all the farms you can visit.

If all that makes you hungry, at 6 p.m. Saturday, you can enjoy an a la carte picnic dinner prepared by some of the top chefs in Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill. The cost is $7, and the food will be available on the grounds of Person Place, North Main Street, Louisburg. Bring a blanket, chair and anything else you need and listen to the country/bluegrass music of the Gravel Road Band while you dine.

Tickets to the food and music event are limited, so get them while their hot. And that's not all folks. There will also be an amateur photography contest where you can enter your photos from weekend events. And prizes will be awarded.
