Sowing the Seeds of Peace259 viewsA ginkgo biloba sapling from a 250-year-old mother tree that survived the A-bombing of Hiroshima was planted in Rochester last week. The mother tree was 1,500 yards from ground zero and survived the blast. The sapling was donated to the town from past Town Administrator Michael McCue, who acquired it from The United Nations Green Legacy Hiroshima Initiative. It was quietly planted behind the playground at the Dexter Lane Ball Field. Photo by Jean Perry

Rochester Country Fair 2014257 viewsWhat do you get when you combine the smell of Italian sausage mixed with diesel exhaust and cow manure, the sound of loud tractor engines drowning out the live country music with the occasional barn animal noise, and the sight of happy Southcoast folks in overalls? The sublime sensory experience that is the Rochester Country Fair! What is more fun than four fun-filled days of frog racing, tractor pulling, mechanic bull riding, and fried food eating? Don’t forget the cowchip bingo and John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band who rocked the house on Saturday night before hundreds of spectators. Photos by Jean Perry, Camden Gaspar, and Felix Perez
