WAKEFIELD,
RI: On Thursday, July 9th in the Historic Village of Wakefield, RI, the public
is invited to two great events. From 5 to 9pm, shops and restaurants open their
doors welcoming shoppers & diners with samples and special offers along
with carriage rides, raffles and much more as part of Ladies Night on Main
Street.
And
from Dusk to 9pm, RiverFire, with floating fire baskets lit on the Saugatucket
River, is an arts celebration complete with an Arts-Walk and live music
creating a community atmosphere. These are free, family friendly events though
attendees and art exhibitors are asked to bring non-perishable food items to
benefit the Jonnycake Center of Peace Dale.
The
mission of the center is to improve the quality of life for individuals and
families by providing comprehensive assistance to those in need of food,
clothing, and household items.
Recent
performances were donated by local favorites Jason Colonies, Captain Mitch
& Crew, & Sol Revival. Upcoming performances include Russ Partridge on
7/9, Someday Masquerade on 7/16, Glenn Dewell on 7/23, Chakulla & Friends
with the Hunger Bus on 7/30, Trixie & Jimbo on 8/6, Daniel James Durand on
