ROCHESTER — An outdoor festival with treats and fun for the family will be held on the church green of the First Congregational Church of Rochester on Saturday, Oct. 5.

The harvest festival will run from 1 to 4 p.m. at 11 Constitution Way. Entertainment will include a petting zoo, bounce house and face painting. 

Linda Summer of Agape Puppet Ministries will give two performances with props and chalk art.

The festival is free of charge, but the church welcomes donations of instant potatoes, stuffing mix or cans of soup or cranberry sauce to support community families at Thanksgiving.
