Franklin County Children’s Festival, Father-Daughter Dances set

FARMINGTON — The Franklin County Children’s Task Force Children’s Festival and Father-Daughter Dance have been scheduled.
The annual Children’s Festival will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, at the Mt. Blue Campus. The festival is an opportunity for families to break up the winter blues and get out to enjoy a day of free activities.
This year at the festival there will be a low-cost food court, cookie decorating, hands-on activities, music, entertainment, and more.
The task force will also be holding two simultaneous Father-Daughter Dances again this year from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday March 7. One dance will take place at the Spruce Mountain Middle School Gym, and the other will take place in the more northern area of Franklin County at the Strong Elementary School Gym.
Anyone wishing to buy advance tickets may do so beginning in February at the Children’s Task Force in Farmington, the Flower Barn in Jay, the White Elephant in Strong, and Edmunds Market in Kingfield. One ticket covers both father and his daughter(s). The event is for fathers and daughters of any age. There will be a DJ and photographer at both events. Cost for tickets is $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Fathers and their daughters are encouraged to come and dance the night away, enjoy give-away prizes and each other’s company.
