Franklin PRCA Rodeo
The
Franklin Noon Rotary Club was chartered on January 13, 1948 by Judge
Jim Warren. Among the founding members were Dr. Harry Guffee, Rev.
Henry Moberly, and Bill Miller. Sometime during the winter of 1949, the
new Rotary Club began looking for a fund raising project, and the idea
for the Franklin Rodeo began to take form. After much work and prayer
the first Rodeo was held in May 1950 and it was a great success. The
Franklin Noon Rotary Club has been carrying on the tradition since that
time. Every member of The Franklin Rotary Club has an assigned job and
a key task in the production of the Rodeo.
Since
1950, every dollar raised by the club for community projects has been
raised through the Rodeo. It's safe to say the Rodeo has produced more
than a million dollars, which has been poured back into the community.
This money has taken the form of college scholarships, books, medical
education, health care, band uniforms, help for the mentally and
physically handicapped, support of exchange students, construction of
park facilities, donations to local charities, direct benevolent work,
Polio Plus, and many, many more projects. No other Franklin Civic Club
has raised and spent more money in the community than the Franklin Noon
Rotary Club.
Emerald Sponsors ($2,500)
Dan Post Boot Company
The Dan Post brand was created in the mid 1960's to give a better grade boot to the customer who wants authentic western boots.

The comfort trend started over 20 years ago and continues today as Dan Post searches for materials that make our boots more comfortable.
