FREEPORT Pretzel City celebrated its moniker Saturday as crowds gathered in downtown for a day of food, fun, shopping and entertainment.
The inaugural Pretzel Fest was also a jump start on recognizing National Pretzel Day, held Monday, and brought people together for socially distanced festivities.
The event, organized by Greater Freeport Partnership, kicked off the day with a barbecue competition in the morning with aromas to entice all residents and visitors.
It also featured performances by S&R Dance Team, La Danza de Los Viejitos - Folkloric Dance from Michoacán, Mexico, and a reenactment by Tim Connors as Benjamin Franklin. Pretzel City CrossFit supplied a community workout and burpee challenge, and Your Core Being had yoga in the street.
This year, Peacock got a huge boost of subscribers when it became the exclusive streaming home of
The Office, the most streamed show of 2020. But the NBCUniversal streaming service knew they had to offer something a little more to entice some fans to follow the series instead of just buying it for themselves, so they made “Superfan Episodes” available. These extended cuts of episodes offer footage that was not widely seen and in some cases never even aired. Now, the selection has just grown.
In honor of National Pretzel Day (if you know, you know), Peacock has announced that Superfan Episodes from the show’s first season are now available to stream. Previously, the Superfan Episodes were only available for the show’s third season, but now you’ll be able to watch the first season episodes with deleted scenes, never-before-seen moments, bloopers, featurettes, and alternate talking head interviews.
