The display will kickoff Sunday with a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Albert Lea American Legion hosted by the Freeborn County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 447. Breakfast includes pancakes, sausage, eggs, potatoes, fruit, juice and coffee. The display continues July 27 with a pancake breakfast hosted by American Legion Post 56.
