Deep from the fields of our local farms comes the Invasion of the Scarecrows sponsored by Ford Lincoln of Franklin! On Saturday October 17, 2015, scarecrows as far as the eye can see will invade the Franklin Farmers Market to bring you the freshest local produce, locally-raised meats, artisan cheeses, pastured eggs, fresh baked breads, and so much more. Come witness this fun-for-the-family event and see the Invasion of the Scarecrows with your very own eyes! From big and tall to short and small, scarecrows of every size will invade the Franklin Farmers Market. And with the scarecrows comes a day of fun for everyone with a free pumpkin patch for the kids, face painting, the Perfect Pumpkin Painting booth!
