Woods Farm in Boones Mill announced earlier this week it is closing after decades of selling fresh produce, preserves, and jams, saying rising costs, drought, and repeated crop losses left the owner unable to keep the business running.
Main Street in Boones Mill hosted Franklin County’s first-ever Coffin Race on Saturday, with 15 five-person teams racing homemade caskets for cash prizes, and the Franklin County Historical Society saying proceeds will help pay for pauper burials.

Bedford waste hauler Bays Boys Trash Removal has added a fuel surcharge tied to rising diesel costs after prices hit about $5.75 a gallon, making the fee 5% and adding $1.25 to a $25 monthly bill (the surcharge will be removed if diesel falls below $4 per gallon).
