Father's Day pancake breakfast

CHARLEMONT, Mass. (WWLP) - Celebrating Father's Day turned into a community wide event for one Franklin County Town Sunday.

Some people got together to put on Charlemont's second annual Father's Day pancake breakfast at the town fairgrounds. The dads who enjoyed all the pancakes they could eat courtesy of mom and kids had a chance to reflect on what they mean to their families.

One father summed it up pretty well for 22News. "I thank God my family is the way it is. I don't know what I did right, but they're great, they're great, we all play we do everything together," said Richard Howe of Buckland.

Charlemont families and their Franklin County neighbors held their first Father's Day community breakfast last year. It's now well on its way towards becoming a tradition.
