This year's Rochesterfest button design was chosen by you.
Voters made their choice on the festival's Facebook page. The winning design, by Heather Tollers, a professional graphic designer, incorporates the festival's 2011 theme, "Make Your Mark." The festival runs June 17-26.
Button sales raise money for the festival and for area charities, and wearers receive discounted admission and other considerations at festival events.
The buttons cost $4 and go on sale starting May 3. The initial sale is conducted by the charities exclusively. The buttons are distributed for wider sale starting May 31.

Tollers won a $500 prize. She works for Community News Corp., which owns the Byron Review and Star Herald newspapers. She also owns a business, HT Designs.
