The Francestown Recreation Department hosted its third annual Tribute to the Women of Francestown on Saturday, March 21, honoring local women during Women’s History Month.

The event featured a dinner prepared and served by a team of all-male volunteers, who handled everything from cooking to cleanup. Guests enjoyed live music and handmade chocolates from Bob’s Chocolate Cafe.

The evening celebrates the many contributions of Francestown women to the town, community, and beyond. Childcare was also available at Bob’s Chocolate Cafe, which recently reopened following a fire.
