WRAPPING UP ANOTHER SUMMER IN FRANKLIN, NC We’ve been blessed with another beautiful summer season here in Franklin! Thousands have traveled from all over the country to discover what a wonderful place Franklin is to visit and experience. There’s a variety of activities that appeal to all ages right here in our back yard! Camping, rafting, golfing, hiking, gem mining, nature exploring... and so much more!

One of my favorite things about the end of summer that truly defines small-town America, especially here in the South, is the return of the county fair. The Macon County Fair is a rarity, as it is one of the last agriculture-only fairs in the state of NC. Our facility on Hwy 441 just south of town is among the best. This year, the fair will be running from September 23-26, so be sure to mark your calendars so you can go enjoy all the animals, exhibits, food and fun!

With all the great activities and hometown feel of Franklin, who wouldn’t want to live here?

So, if you’re looking for a place to call home, look no further! Contact one of the real estate professionals featured in this guide to help find the right home for you... and as always, let them know you found them in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide!

POGO is a 2024, 65 pound model w/ a playful layout & built in décor. He loves both real dogs & stuffed ones, & is almost never seen without a plush “tenant” close by. This unit comes pre wired w/ basic commands, is highly food motivated for easy upgrades, & appears house broken he keeps his space clean & waits to go outside. Pogo gets along w/ almost every dog on the block but is not fond of small animals that dart away, like cats & chickens, so he is best suited for a home without those neighbors.

Pogo is currently showing at Macon County Animal Services, 1377 Lakeside Drive, Franklin NC 28734.

BALTO is a gentle giant model w/ all the lodge vibes built in. Big in size but convinced he is a lap dog, he is happiest soaking up attention & stretching out for long, easy naps once playtime is over. He pairs best w/ other dogs that match his laid back energy & is easy to handle on walks, which makes him feel more like a quiet, scenic trail than a high traffic street. If your family has been looking for a steady, affectionate companion rather than a high speed project, Balto is worth a showing. Balto is currently showing at Appalachian Animal Rescue, 851 Lake Emory Road, Franklin NC 28734.
