Annual Franklin event put on ice after learning ICE is on the ground

The message was heard clearly over the radio just as the announcer was promoting local events. "Ice is on the ground" the announcer stated over the airwaves.

The attendees of the annual Franklin on Ice event stood in shock as they heard the report of what was taking place. One moment, the announcer was promoting their event. The next moment, they learned that their safety was in jeopardy.

“I couldn’t tell if they were talking about border security agents, or if the announcer was saying 'ISIS on American soil.'” states Mrs. Earbleed. “All I know is our Franklin on Ice event is not safe with such cold people at large.”

With the Venango County military trying to secure the northern border during the war with East Crawford, Franklin residents are in fear that they must fend for themselves. The mayor of Franklin has issued an order for all attendees to stack up each ice sculpture as fortifications for whatever attack may be coming.

“This is the scariest situation I’ve encountered in office,” states the mayor of Franklin, who doesn’t quite know what to do. “I don’t quite know what to do!”

Word has gone out to the northern border of Vennango County for soldiers to come to the defense of Franklin. Experts estimate that it could take the military men roughly six days, since they are incredibly lazy. Until then, Franklin on Ice participants are encouraged to continue the festivities after barricading themselves in the fountain.

Franklin on Ice will continue through the weekend, with visitors encouraged to keep interactions within 2 feet of the spicket. All exhibits will be moved inside the fountain for people to participate safely as Franklin waits for the Venango County military. A map is shown below of various attractions one can attend inside the fountain residing in Fountain Park.
