The Rochester Country Fair was the place to be this weekend with events for young, old and everyone in between.

On Saturday, it was survival of the fiddlest as musicians took the stage for the annual fiddle contest. After the contest, many of the string dusters stayed around to play under the tent, sharing reels and jigs.

"It amazes me how they can just pick up and jam together," said Phoebe Butler, a member of the fair committee.

Though still learning to improvise, Oliver Farrell, 10, also joined the fiddlers, mandolinist and bassist on stage. Farrell, whose mother got second place in the open category, was the first place winner in the youth category.

On the other side of the fairgrounds, another competition was taking place – this one with sugar! Kids and adults stuffed their faces with chocolate creme pie and whipped cream for the annual pie eating contest.

The event is traditionally for kids, but this year, there were extra pies so the adults dug in. Lori Souza, who heads up the children's activities, secured the first place spot.

In addition to the events, a number of vendors and community organizations set up booths around the fair.

Blacksmith Dean Rantz of Middleboro brought his forge as he has every year since the fair began.

"I haven't missed a weekend," said Rantz.

He said the crowds keep him coming back.

"I get my ware out there," he said.

On Saturday, Rantz was visited by a man dressed as Jesus who has been seen at many events across the South Coast this summer. The unusual visitor didn't phase him much.

"I'll chat with Jesus. I'll chat with anybody," said Rantz.
