#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄
On the twelfth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the businesses that create lasting memories in YOUR downtown! The Historic Artcraft Theatre has arguably created more positive memories than any business in the history of Franklin. We are so thankful for Franklin Heritage Inc. and the good work they are doing at the Artcraft. This 100+ year old theatre will certainly be making memories in our downtown for many more years to come. ❤
#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄
On the eleventh day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the shops that make you feel good about making a difference with your spending.

By shopping at BYTAVI you are not only helping a great cause, you are purchasing a super high quality product! ❤
#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄

On the ninth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the shops that enhance creativity and local talent.

#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄
On the eighth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are celebrating shopping local and keeping more money in our community. By ordering your custom shirts through a shop like Sailor Nick's T-Shirt Express (located at 165 E. Jefferson) instead of an online service you are keeping your hard earned dollar circulating in our local economy for much longer! Nick and his team also give back to the community - you might have noticed their logo as a sponsor on the Santa Shack! ❤
#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄

On the fourth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the many downtown shops that reduce our environmental impact.

On the twelfth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the businesses that create lasting memories in YOUR downtown! The Historic Artcraft Theatre has arguably created more positive memories than any business in the history of Franklin. We are so thankful for Franklin Heritage Inc. and the good work they are doing at the Artcraft. This 100+ year old theatre will certainly be making memories in our downtown for many more years to come. ❤
#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄
On the eleventh day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the shops that make you feel good about making a difference with your spending.

#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄

#discoverdowntownfranklin #genuinefranklin #festcountryin #WeAreMainStreetIt's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄
On the eighth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are celebrating shopping local and keeping more money in our community. By ordering your custom shirts through a shop like Sailor Nick's T-Shirt Express (located at 165 E.

Nick and his team also give back to the community - you might have noticed their logo as a sponsor on the Santa Shack! ❤

On the fourth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the many downtown shops that reduce our environmental impact.
