First Congregational Church of Rochester will host a Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 5 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. The outdoor festival will take place on the church green at 11 Constitution Way in Rochester and will include delicious treats and fun for the whole family such as a petting zoo, bounce house and face painting. Linda Summer of Agape Puppet Ministries will give two performances using props and chalk art. The Harvest Festival is free of charge, but the church welcomes donations of instant potatoes, stuffing mix, or cans of soup or cranberry sauce to support community families at Thanksgiving.
