The 4th of July is celebrated each year in a special way in Freeport.  The annual parish 4th 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 was filled to capacity most of the morning from 7-10:00am as hundreds of hungry guests passed through the line to receive their pancakes, sausage, and juice.  This year we had the added feature of a parish float entry in the large parade.  Here a just a few shots that captured the fun, enthusiasm and enjoyment from this long standing tradition.
