Relay for Life...to be continued on Main Street Night - Many will recall that the Franklin County Relay for Life event a few weeks ago was cut short due to heavy rain and storms moving through the area. The Relay for Life committee has come back together to conclude their annual event on Friday, July 16th on the Courthouse lawn as a part of Main Street Night. According to Kirshell Lovins, director for the event, they are going to re-create the Luminaria Ceremony on the Courthouse Lawn and will be showing the slide show honoring survivors and those in memory. They will have teams on the lawn selling food and other items, just like they did at Relay for Life. The group will light up the courthouse lawn with luminarias and will present the slideshow at dark, but please stop by anytime during the evening to support the Relay for Life Teams

Canoefest - In addition to the big canoe and running races in the happening at Canoefest, the Festival in Brookville's beautiful riverside town park will offer two great nights of family fun!
On Friday night, the food tents and booths open at 5pm. Then at 6pm, the Classic Car Caravan, escorting the Canoe Princess contestants, arrives at the festival grounds. The caravan will also include some stretch limosines, and other vehicles providing some bling to the proceedings.
The Princesses, who will be on the finale of their full day of pageant competition, will showcase their charm for the spectators. Then the big moment comes when the Princess and her court will be announced. The crowning of the Princess is followed directly by the first round of Canoefest Idol, showcasing the best singers in the local area. Saturday is Race Day at Canoefest. And there will be much excitement in the morning up at the Brookville Tailwaters, where the canoe races and biathlon begin. Don't think you have to be a canoe expert to join in the fun. The Recreational Races offer a short 2.4 mile race on an easy part of the river, and at just $15, boat included, it is a great event for parents and children, couples, or anyone wanting to participate. At 6:00 on Saturday, the Chicken Fry Off commences, a contest to determine who fries the best fried chicken in no less than a 500 thousand mile radius. This one proves to be as competitive as any race on this day, so get your entries or your judging forms in fast. Saturday concludes with a big FIREWORKS AND LASER SHOW.
