Frankfurt gears up for exciting Fall Fest celebrations

The Frankfurt Police Department has received new resources to enhance public safety, including an electric bike and a shield radar signal speed sign, thanks to a successful grant submission. Deputy Chief Kevin Lands and the police department team were acknowledged for their efforts in securing these tools.

In community news, the last concert of the summer series, featuring the Outcast Jazz Band, is set for Sunday, August 25, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Brighter Green. The popular Cruise in Frankfurt season will continue through September 23, alongside the country market, which runs every Sunday until October 27. However, there will be no cruise night on August 26 or September 2, nor a country market on September 1, due to the upcoming Frankfurt Fall Fest.
