It is with a great deal of pleasure and a humbling sense of responsibility that The Lebanon Voice announces it will increase its coverage area to include Rochester, N.H., a neighboring community that is the commercial, recreational and economic hub for so many Milton and Lebanon residents.

The city of Rochester is where we go nearly every day of the week, to bank, to shop, to buy a car or motorcycle, to see a doctor or a lawyer, pretty much everything.

The Lilac City is as interwoven into our lives as the love for the towns we live in.

Besides being a great place to live, work and shop, Rochester is home to many cultural and entertainment venues including the iconic Rochester Opera House.

Next weekend Rochester will have its second annual blues festival, one of the city’s premier events. The headline act is Seacoast favorite T.J. Wheeler and the Smokers.

Look for more information about the blues festival next week in The Lebanon Voice.

For those of you who live in Lebanon and Milton, rest assured The Lebanon Voice will continue its coverage of your town as it has in the past.

We look forward to this, our latest challenge, and we hope you will continue to use The Lebanon Voice to find out what’s happening in your town, and beyond.
