Franklin began celebrating this year's 245th birthday of independence more than a week ago. With events every night and other communities hosting fireworks only a few miles away in the days leading up to the fourth, it could be possible that the town would be fatigued and the turnout would be low.
But that's not the way Franklin operates.
They pack em in.
The lawn of Riverfront Park was orderly, but full of folks enjoying some snacks from the food vendors. The DJ music filled the air as they awaited the start of the fireworks display. Set off from across the river the "Thunder over Franklin" was a perfect ending to a long week and a half of celebrations and entertainment.
Happy birthday America.
