The 109th Rochester Grange Fair is this Saturday, August 17. The fair will open at 1:30 pm and will continue until 7:00 pm. There will be displays of fruits, vegetables, flowers, handcrafts (sewing, needlework, painting, etc.), canning, and baking, all by local residents. Come see whose entries won the ribbons for best entry in a category.
Entries can be brought in Friday the 16th in the afternoon from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and again from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm with judging taking place as soon as all entries are in place. Anyone may enter from the age of 5 years and up not just from Rochester but surrounding towns as well. Remember, the fair book is only a guide. If you have something you would like to enter and it is not listed, bring it down to the Grange Hall at 205 Hartley Rd. anyway.
A Ham & Bean Supper will be served at 6:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $8.00 for adults & $4.00 for children under 10 years of age.
The fair will also include a bake table, raffles, and an auction at 7:20 pm of produce from the fair. For information on the fair, contact Sue or Herb at 508-295-8908 or at sash48@comcast.net.
