    "Have lived here ten years, my wife has for thirty years. Rockton is a wonderful community with a small town atmosphere. We have a Rockton River Market on Wednesday nights through the summer months in Old Settlers Park. That includes live bands with local artists, food trailers, craft tents, farmers market and more. Rockton Christmas parade with other seasonal events, and many other great events through the year. It’s safe, friendly folks. Outstanding schools. And a short drive to major metropolitan areas. Life is good in Rockton!!!"
