Rochester Chess will have an exhibit at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday, September 14, 9 AM – noon. The market is an opportunity to help spread your love of chess. Visitors range from serious 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 locally grown vegetables. 🙂 We will be at the back of the market on the grass near the river and in the shade of an enormous cotton wood tree. Stop by anytime! I hope to see you there.
