Rochester swelled with community pride on Independence Day as the community celebrated its 100th Fourth of July Homecoming. The festival drew thousands to Rt. 511, where a parade rolled down the hilly highway to show local spirit. The Homecoming lasted all day at Eagle Street Park and the Rochester fire station, featuring races, contests, concerts, ice cream, and so much more — it culminated after dark with a long fireworks show.
