Our Parade & Fireworks Committee, along with many others were so disappointed with the storm that happened at our July 3rd fireworks festival; but much more importantly, we were so grateful NO one was hurt. That’s what we need to remember…along with offering prayers for all the lives lost in the floodings in Texas the next morning.
We also ask you to join us in offering our heartfelt THANKS to all the hard-working and dedicated members of Freetown’s Fire, Police, and Highway Departments who helped so many the evening of July 3rd at Hathaway Park, as well as throughout our town. The incredibly fast-moving and powerful storm needed quick decisions made in order to keep everyone SAFE and these three departments helped us do that, and more.
Keep in mind, they also “cleared the way” for our parade the next morning. Taking care of downed trees (power outages), directing traffic, participating in our line-up, and helping in many different ways. After the night previous, know we all were surprised to have such nice weather for our parade, along with lots of enthusiastic spectators.
We’d also like to thank Borges Bros (totes), Russell Frade Enterprises (portapotties), Beaupre Electric (put up/take down flags), and Knowles Environmental (removing pop-up debris). Plus our thanks to the Freetown LIONS, Boy Scout Troop #164, Freetown-Lakeville Girl Scouts, Berkley Congregational Church, Freetown Firefighters Assoc, and the Freetown Library for their booths at our festival.
Last, a shout-out of thanks to each of our generous sponsors for their support in helping us put on these great events for our town. It’s because everyone works together, that allows these two birthday celebrations to happen every year in Freetown.
Wishing you a wonderful summer and be sure to mark your calendars for July 3rd/4th, 2026!
