WATERFORD — The first Waterford Summer Breakfast of 2024 on July 4 was a resounding success. Over 325 diners and volunteers were served breakfast at the Wilkins Community House in Waterford. There will be three more public breakfasts this summer on Wednesdays, July 17, July 31, and August 14. All are from 7:30-10 a.m. The Wilkins Community House is on Plummer Hill in the Flat of Waterford, adjacent to the Congregational Church.

The breakfast consists of scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, muffins, donut holes, juice, coffee, tea, and real Maine maple syrup, sourced locally.
Begun 70 years ago, the 4th of July celebration this year included, in addition to the breakfast, a parade (perhaps the longest ever!), the Waterford Library Book Sale, the Waterford Historical Society open house at two local venues, the Waterford Farmers Market, and vendors in the Wilkins parking lot and on the green. The Book Sale will be available in the Wilkins House basement during future breakfasts and vendors will also be available.

Proceeds from the breakfast help with the upkeep of the Wilkins Community House.
