FPF Annual Ice Cream Social – Here’s the scoop! Each year we sponsor an old-fashioned Ice Cream Social for Frankfort residents. Assist the committee in planning, marketing, and event details. The event occurs every year on the last Sunday in August. Planning begins 5-6 months prior.

The Frankfort Fall Festival – Each year over Labor Day Weekend, both organizations participate in the food court of the Fest with a food booth. You do not have to be a cook and there are no dishes to wash! Basic tasks such as pouring a beverage or giving food or change to customers is what’s involved. Shifts are Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday and are as short as 2-3 hours. Much of our funding is generated through this effort.

Bring a friend, lend a hand and then enjoy the Fest!

The Annual Holiday House Walk – Each year the Holiday House Walk is a highlight to kick off the season in Frankfort. Through the generosity of Frankfort homeowners, five homes each year are featured. This event is no small task. Work with the committee to assist in securing homes, assist in event planning, and hosting at the museum the day of the event.
