If you love a good bowl of chili, don't forget to attend the Franklin Tomorrow Chili Cook-off on Third Ave. N. from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are approximately 15 teams that compete. A $10 ticket gives you an opportunity to sample all 15 chilis and then vote for the best one. You can't have chili without beer so that will be available for purchase as well.

For those who enjoy music, there will be two stages offering continuous entertainment. At 5 p.m., there will be a teenage Battle of the Bands which is also produced by The People's Church. The winners receive a $500 cash prize. 

If dancing is your thing, swing dance on the public square begins at 4;45 p.m.

There will be more than 75 food and craft vendors offering a variety of arts, crafts, jewelery and specialty food items. Booths are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
