This year, Rochester Country Fair is going wild. The "Welcome to the Jungle" theme kicked off with a fundraiser dinner at Wareham's Redmen Hall on Saturday night.
The room was packed with plenty of people donning animal prints, and a few gorillas even showed up to join in on the exotic evening.
"We have a lot of people who like to have fun," said Bev Pierce, a member of the Country Fair's committee.
After dinner, provided by Matt's Blackboard, many Rochester residents hit the dance floor, boogieing to music by local rockers The Relics.
