The sun was shining on a gorgeous Sunday morning in Freeman and the scene was set on the grounds of Merchants State Bank Field as the community anticipates another Independence Day celebration. Action gets underway at 12 p.m. with summer recreation and youth VFW baseball games at both the softball and basement fields. The Merchants State Bank-sponsored chislic stand will open then, too, with games continuing all afternoon. The American Legion Post 152 79ers take the field at 4 p.m. and the Freeman Blacksox will host Tabor beginning at 7:30 p.m., with CorTrust Bank sponsoring a fireworks show at dark.
PHOTO OF THE DAY: NIGHT LIGHTS
The Freeman Area Veterans Memorial is pictured in the foreground as fireworks light up the June 30 night sky over Freeman. It was the grand finale of what was a fun day as hundreds converged on the ball field grounds for the community’s Independence Day Celebration. The Marion/Freeman Rebels youth baseball teams were all in action, the Freeman/Marion 14u and Freeman/Canistota 16u Sticks both won over Scotland/Menno by a combined score of 23-1 and the Post 152 79ers defeated a good Madison team 3-1. But things didn’t go so well for the Blacksox in amateur action in the nightcap as Freeman was without a hit and committed five errors in an 11-0 loss to Tabor.
