The eighth annual Franklin County Veterans Affairs Golf Tournament scheduled for Friday has been canceled after threats were made to tournament participants earlier this week, according to county commissioners.
An unknown individual allegedly made an unspecified threat directed to participants, which lead to the decision. The tournament was supposed to be held at the Penn National Golf Club & Inn. "The safety of everyone - our staff, our volunteers, our participants and the residents of Penn National - is our utmost priority," said Franklin County Commissioner Chairman Dean Horst.
