The streets of Downtown Florence and even our very own Chamber offices were turned into a movie set this past weekend!
Special thanks to Chamber Board member Robby Hill for snapping the above pic of all the action.
According to Hill’s post, crews from “G It’s Entertainment” were in town filming scenes for an upcoming Hallmark movie and used downtown Florence as part of their backdrop!
We can’t wait to see how it all turns out. Stay tuned for additional details.
