Rochester Grange Fair

Here’s a reminder to mark August 16 on your calendar. Once again, Rochester Grange will hold its agricultural fair, our 113th. Printing of our books has been completed and are being distributed throughout the Tri-Town. Here’s what you need to know.

The fair will be held on Saturday, August 16 from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Our Ham & Bean Supper will be at 6:00 pm. Tickets for adults are $10.00 and children-under-10 $5.00. There will be an auction of produce, flowers and baked goods from the fair and raffle drawings beginning at about 7:15 pm.

Entries will be taken in on Friday August 15 from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm (a time change from the book) and again at night from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm (also a change). Judging will start as soon as all entries are in place. Having the entry form in the book or a list on a sheet of paper filled out ahead will help greatly.             Remember, anyone can enter from any town and age. If a child is old enough to pull weeds, they are old enough to enter in to the fair. The Youth categories are up to the age of 16 as of January 2025.

Hope to see many of you there. For information call Sue at 508-295-8908 or email sash48@comcast.net.
