The Rochester Fair is Getting a Huge Upgrade by Extending to 8 Days, Could Have Demolition Derbies
The Rochester fair is making some changes for next season.
Instead of a four day schedule that the fair ran last fall, the fair's board has decided to double the length and open the Rochester Fair for 8 days next fall.
In an article at Fosters.com, the proposed dates are Thursday thru Sunday, Sept. 13-16 and Thursday thru Sunday, Sept. 20-23.
The votes to change the time frame included the intention to possibly have more more demolition and bus derby events which have proven to be a big draw, according to the article.
This is welcomed news for those of us who frequented the Fair for many years, and yes, I even drove in the bus derby years ago!
Perhaps I'll get another chance soon!
