This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Erin Campbell, Franklin Turkey Trot organizer and with Jen Johnson, Franklin Food Pantry Event Coordinator. We had our conversation at the Franklin Food Pantry at Edwin’s.

We talk about the Turkey Trot coming up on Thanksgiving morning.

We talk about how the race has evolved, sponsorship opportunities, the community event itself, free raffle prizes in addition to awards by race age category & more.

Disclosure: during the conversation you will hear that I am happy to be a sponsor of this event, and that the recording is separately part of my overall public service effort for Franklin.News/Franklin Public Radio.

The recording runs about 21 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Erin and Jen.
