A chess challenge will also be set up Saturday. Members of the Rochester Chess Club will take on all challengers.

“Chess is a world game. It’s an international game,” said John Berquist, coordinator of this year’s world festival, in explaining the game’s introduction to the festival.

Another family-friendly draw will be hands-on children’s activities, including calligraphy and crafts.

For more information or to take part as a volunteer, call (507) 280-8319 or (507) 289-5960, Ext. 116.
