Scene Around Town: Wine Festival 2016 Benefits Big Brothers, Big Sisters

The 2016 Franklin Wine Festival, which supports Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee, took place on Friday, Oct 21 at The Factory at Franklin.

In addition to sampling over 300 wines, enjoying live music and the silent auction, one of the most unique elements of this event is the coronation of the King and Queen of the Vines.

Janice Jones and Frank Platt were selected as this year’s Queen and King of the Vines.

The money raised by the Franklin Wine Festival events will be used to serve more children in Middle Tennessee with a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. Children with a mentor make better, safer choices in life which in turn reduces crime, improves graduation rates, and lays the groundwork for an overall economic benefit to the Middle Tennessee community.
