JACKSON — Approximately 65 community members took part in a silent, contemplative Freedom Walk through Jackson Village at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, carrying a giant American flag from the covered bridge up Route 16 and around the approximately 2-mile circuit of Route 16A as members of the county sheriff’s office, Jackson Police Department and the Jackson Fire Department led the way.

The Freedom Walk is normally held in the evening, but as organizer Andy Friedricks noted in opening remarks, “We are doing it a little early this year.”
