Rockton-Roscoe News: Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025
Merry Christmas, Rockton, Roscoe and South Beloit - from your friends and neighbors at Rockton-Roscoe News.
Writer and baker Pat Mannino of Fatt Cat Cafe writes, “The last Holiday orders picked up today. The notebooks, chalkboards, scribbled lists on scraps of paper carefully checked. Snowmen and Santa were the favorites. So many I lost count. Red and green buttercream will be taking a rest….visions of pale pink and lavender now floating in my head.
Thanks to all who ordered. Joyous Holiday wishes to all.”
