The Rochester Memorial Day Boat Race (RMDBR) Ham and Bean Supper will be held Saturday May 24 at the Rochester Senior Center, 65 Dexter Lane. The supper will be served from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm and tickets can be purchased at the door. Adults, $10.00 and children under twelve are only $5.00. There is the option to eat in, eat on the patio if weather permits, or take-out. Beans baked by the best bean bakers in town, coleslaw, potato salad, rolls and brown bread. And to top it all off, apple crisp for dessert. Proceeds from the supper help offset the expenses of the race.
Also, there will be raffles available for each of two carbon fiber racing paddles made by Bill Watling III. A third raffle for a beautiful handmade 94 x 66-inch quilt, the top made and designed by Faith Bettencourt and finished by the Creative Crafters of the Rochester Council on Aging. And one additional raffle to get your Spring plantings bursting out of the ground, a one-gallon container of Organic Gem Liquid Fish. This will make 15 gallons of ready to use fertilizer. Tickets for the raffles will be sold at the boat race registration session and at the Ham & Bean supper. The winners will be drawn at the supper.
This is the 91st anniversary of the race. Enjoy a great meal at one of the important social events of the year in our area. The more, the merrier. For additional information please contact Arthur Benner, Chairman, RMDBR, 508-763-2024 or email, artbenner@comcast.net.
