Rochester Chess will have an exhibit at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday, May 25. This is an opportunity to help spread your love of chess. Visitors range from experienced players to individuals who are interested in learning more about the game. It is a lot of fun and you can take time out to pick up some peas and other locally grown vegetables. đŸ™‚ The weather forecast is for a high of 72 F and sunny! We will be set up at the back of the market on the grass near the river and under an enormous cottonwood tree. Stop by anytime! Let me know if you plan to visit.
