Earlier in the day, the Grumpy Goat Distillery held the annual Franklin on Ice chili cookoff. It was the second time in a row the business stepped up to make the event happen on behalf of the Franklin Fine Arts Council, which sponsors the ice festival. Several businesses and individuals supplied four gallons of chile each. More than $1,000 was raised for future Franklin on Ice efforts.
