The Fourth of July is celebrated each year in a special way in Freeport. The annual parish Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast at St. Jude Church is an integral part of the parade and festivities that mark our nation's birthday. Under the direction of a dedicated committee and staffed with the hands and financial support of generous parishioners, the church hall is filled to capacity most of the morning from 7 am to 10:00 am, as hundreds of hungry guests pass through the line to receive their pancakes, sausage, and juice. Here are a just a few shots that captured the fun, enthusiasm, and enjoyment from this long-standing tradition.
