2006 marks the 275th anniversary of Franconia Township. The township has compiled a committee to help plan the festivities to honor this milestone. The twelve member board consists of the following people:

• Jamie Worman - Assistant Township Manager
• Paul Nice - Public Works Director
• Sgt. Jeffrey Gower - Police Department
• Curtis Kratz - Supervisor
• Jerry Delong - Planning Commission Chairman
• Vicki Freed - Resident
• Harold Nice - Resident
• Doug Killough - Park & Recreation Committee
• Brad Carroll/Nancy West-Shelly - Park & Recreation Committee
• Nevin Moyer - Resident
• Linda Souder- Resident
• Ron Landis- Resident

The committee would like to thank everyone who volunteered, sponsored, and participated in the anniversary celebration! The community day and parade were a complete success. The weather did not deter hundreds of residents from coming out to enjoy the 2 mile long parade. The community day, which was held in the community park, had an assortment of different vendors ranging from crafts to food to activities for children. The day was capped off with a stunning fireworks display that could be seen all over the township. Many thanks to everyone involved.

We will officially close the festivities with a closing dinner combined with the annual Township Volunteer Dinner. Watch the web for more information.
