A select panel of Franklin County residents was in the spotlight when the WRAListens Tour made a stop at The Person Place on the Louisburg College campus, Wednesday, November 10, 2004. This informal town meeting, facilitated by former WRAL News anchor Charlie Gaddy, brought a diverse group of Franklin County residents together to discuss local issues.
