Sometimes you just have to be willing to find it! In the spirit of finding things to do in and around Rochester, a few years back I was VERY discouraged. I am a native ya see; and in my experience in Rochester if you didn’t host the party, the gathering or the happening it wasn’t going on in Rochester. Well as I have grown a little older and wiser none the less I have discovered that no matter the day, time or season, there is ALWAYS something going on in our nifty lil’  town.  There are things for all ages and stages in life. Here are just a few things for the next week in Rochester:
