The Freeport firefighters hosted its annual spring pancake breakfast this weekend, serving pancakes, eggs, sausage, orange juice, coffee and milk to a full house of area residents.  They raised $3,000 that will go toward a new brush/grass truck for the department, replacing one that is more than 15 years old.

 

Next up:  Freeport firefighters will host their annual Easter Egg Hunt for kids up to 10 years old at the Freeport Community Center Saturday on March 31 beginning at 10 a.m...

 

Here are some photos of the pancake breakfast.
