Festive Franklin

(This event will be located in the Indian Center’s gym)

Join us for a fun winter gathering of community and a celebration of Native organizations. Meet and spend time getting to know and supporting our non-profit organizations. 

We will be hosting a lunch with soup and frybread from Gatherings Cafe and Pow Wow Grounds. Also hosting art activities like printmaking with artist Courtney Cochran, snowflake making for window displays on the American Indian Cultural Corridor, a giveaway, and a toy drive for families. 

This event is free, and all are welcome. We ask folks to donate a toy for the Indian Center’s toy drive.
