While your here....why not visit Mount Vernon, "Hometown", Texas!  Mount Vernon is one of the few towns in Texas where you always feel welcome.  It is located 100 miles east of Dallas on Interstate 30 nestled in the deep East Texas woods.  Visitors are welcome to visit the town square and sample the fine cuisine and browse through a variety of specialty shops.

Hey, why not...... 

Consider having Franklin County Airport host your next aviation event.  We have a large air conditioned recreational building and a large grassy area just right for camping out.  The kitchen was designed to prepare food for large groups and easily serve them through an open serving window.  Clean restrooms are easily accessible from the main recreation area.  Our FBO also has the cheapest AVGAS around for event participants.
