Beautify downtown Franklin: Community foundation looking for volunteers

Local residents are invited to downtown Franklin on Aug. 19 to help beautify the city.

Johnson County Community Foundation’s Color the County Mural Program design winner, Danny Casey, was announced recently, and organizers are recruiting volunteers to help paint Causey’s mural at the Jefferson Street building in August.

Causey’s design was chosen for the location at 351 E. Jefferson St., Franklin. Causey is the director of architectural salvage for Madison Street Salvage with Franklin Heritage Inc.

JCCF invites residents of all ages to help paint at the Franklin Community Painting Day from 8 a.m. to noon Aug. 19 during the Franklin Farmers Market. Painting supplies and refreshments will be provided.

Color the County, an initiative of JCCF, joins the community and artists through the collaborative process of mural-making.
