The Rochester City Council is being presented with a plan to radically change the operations of the Mayo Civic Center and Experience Rochester, which was previously known as the Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau.
A crowd of about 5,000 cheered so loudly at his entrance that President Donald Trump spent a few moments smiling and appearing to enjoy the support of the audience before he began speaking at this evening’s campaign rally inside the Mayo Civic Center Arena.
The total is sure to go higher, but when the 2018 Rochester Eagles Cancer Telethon signed off the air Sunday afternoon the marathon broadcast on KTTC-TV had brought in almost $900,800 for cancer research.
With hundreds of people at the Mayo Civic Center Friday attending the Festival of Trees and other events, several Rochester police officers rushed to a site outside the building to check reports of a shooting.
The name Mayo Civic Center will remain and some of the internal venues of the facility will be renamed to further recognize the contributions and legacy of the Mayo Clinic and the Mayo brothers.
The Rochester City Council is scheduled to discuss and possibly vote tonight on a controversial recommendation to rename the newly expanded Mayo Civic Center.
