Correction

In the print edition of this week’s paper, the winners for the educator of the year awards were incorrectly listed, naming last year’s winners. This year’s winners are Kamri Fleming, for Franklin County Schools, and Tanya Cleveland, for Russellvillle City Schools. The Franklin County Times regrets the error. 

The annual Franklin County Partnership banquet, sponsored by the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce and the Franklin County Development Authority, took place March 7 at the A.W. Todd Centre in downtown Russellville.
