On August 26 from 10-3, the Rochester Historical Society, 355 County Road is hosting a mini fair on the grounds of the museum. There will be many events for both adults and children. On the kids’ side, there will be a coloring contest, tick-tack-toe competition, an animal hunt through the museum’s exhibit and games. Participants will be awarded prizes.
For all age groups, there will be an indoor scavenger hunt as well as one through the cemetery. We also have a self- guided cemetery tour and a look into our interesting outhouse.
There will be a “nautical” silent auction and some really great raffles. All of our Rochester merchandise will be on sale, and we are also having a bake sale. Some additional activities are in the works.
There will also be a demonstration with metal detectors. It will be interesting to see what they find. The time for the demo will be in next week’s paper.
In conjunction with the fair is the town-wide scavenger hunt. You can find copies on-line in The Wanderer and on the bulletin board in town hall. There are also hard copies at the library. We’re hoping for good weather and a big crowd.
