The fourth of July is one of the greatest of times to be present in our Nation's Capital.  While many people focus on the national parade and the PBS Concert.  For those who live in our Nation's Capital one of the greatest Independence Day Traditions is the annual Palisades Day parade. This year Tenleytown-Chevy Chase Chapter helped out the Masons of Washington DC in cooking over 3,000 hot dogs and distributing them to Washingtonians.    Brs. Brusoe, Desorsches, Eastridge, and Foley facilitated the moving from the pan to the bun to the hungry citizenry of Washington, DC.   

Br. Chad Reichard helped with the grilling to make sure that the Hot Dogs were properlly preapred within the requiremtns of the DC Health Code.

"Dads" Peter Brusoe, Marcel Desroches and Teko Foly assisted with not only quality control of the hot dogs but also ensured that the hot dogs tasted fantastic with an occasional taste test.
