The City of Rochelle is having a Hay Day in the downtown area today. The 2nd Annual event runs from 11am to 5pm on Lincoln Highway and throughout the Downtown.
The family-friendly, fall event features a petting zoo, giant inflatables, rock climbing, hay rides and more! Children are welcome to come in costume and may even find a treat! The Flagg Rochelle Library will host pumpkin decorating at the event.
There will be plenty of good food available with the Rochelle Fire Department serving their festival-famous pork chop sandwiches and Hicks BBQ.
Musical entertainment will be provided by bluegrass band The Templetons – a family of ten playing old time favorites.
Local artist, Danica Rogers has created a “Headless Horseman” with various types of hay & straw that is on display now at Sullivan’s Foods. Our Second Annual Straw Sculpting Competition will be held Downtown throughout the festival. Voting happens at City Hall and the winner will be announced during Hay Day!
