Luminarias return to New Rochester
A Christmas Eve luminaria tradition will continue in New Rochester, should the weather cooperate.

This would mark 34 years for the displays in New Rochester, which is about six miles east of Bowling
Green on U.S. 6, northeast of the intersection with Ohio 199 north.
