I would like to thank each and every person who came out to Rise Up Rochester, Inc.and ROC the Peace Fest 2014!!! Just like every other year this year was too a HUGE success...We opened up with an African Peace Prayer by Jerry Hines and opening prayer by Pastor Eddie Blanding Jr...We had both speakers and talent...

Pastor Douglas A. Smith this man OMG he need to be sangin; with the Williams Brothers or somebody, Nurse Theresa Bowick she may not have her collard green dress on but her poem was truly amazing, Echo Nathan and Otis did a great job as well, Our Keynote speaker Mayor Lovely came and stayed for over an hour. She took lots of photos and her personalty was just so fantastic I pray for her to continue to run this city with much success of turning it around, she just need the people in this city of Rochester to also do our part. This years featured artist Michael Burton and his wife Tiffany R. Burton ..well I will say this they are truly Blessed! they came with their beautiful children and family and just blended right in. I LOVE it when a couple can put GOD first and not let success over shadow their faith and personality. They laughed and ate and when it was time to hit the stage his songs and voice was truly annointing. I pray The Burtons and every talent that took the stage will go far in their given talent...
