This beautiful garden isn't even part of the Roscoe Gardening Club's Garden Walk, but am I jealous or discouraged?

Today's news for Rockton, Roscoe, and South Beloit - local news and events from Rockton-Roscoe News. Scroll down for the latest stories.

The Roscoe Gardening Club is getting ready for their 2nd Annual Garden Walk on June 14. Five club members, including Farmers Rising and The Barn at Rockton, are opening up their gardens for this self-guided inspirational walk. It's free for anyone wishing to attend, but donations are welcome, of course.
If you want to influence your local government, running for Precinct Committeeman is the most localized and least competitive elected office there is. Join the Winnebago County Republicans on Saturday, May 31, 2025 for training, networking, lunch, and more training. To attend, RSVP to Paul Hofmann at 815-315-2457. The Illinois Democrats offer similar training online on June 3 and July 9.
