 | The weather and Canada wildfire smoke wreaked a bit of havoc on some of Franklin's weeklong July Fourth celebration. Luckily for hundreds of children, the Penny Carnival went ahead as planned Friday. Both downtown parks were packed with kids as well as their parents, grandparents and guardians not to mention dozens of volunteers running games and craft stands. There were also food vendors, bounce houses, touch-a-truck, Marty and his bubble machine and performers from the local dance studio. Franklin's festivities wrap up tonight with the annual Thunder over Allegheny fireworks. Things start at 7 p.m. with a Route 8 Band concert and food vendors in Riverfront Park. Fireworks over the Allegheny River start at dusk. |
