Free fiddle, upcoming events
Sunday's news from Rockton, Roscoe and South Beloit - from your friends at Rockton-Roscoe News.
- You could win a fiddle. Steve Strombeck of Bluegrass Reunion Band has donated a fiddle for the raffle on Saturday, September 20 at Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival in Harrison, Illinois, south of Shirland and west of Rockton. And it plays well! Watch him play it. Need not be present to win, but how else will you hear the music?

Any task will be far more effective and successful when we work together.
