Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

Welcome to the weekend, my friends. We're in for some stormy weather (what else is new) so try to make the best of it. If you're heading out to any festivals or sporting events, please keep COVID-19 safety in the back of your mind. Our case numbers here in Franklin County continue to grow and I know that's the last thing we all want. Stay safe, have some fun, and don't do anything I wouldn't do! 😉
