Northern, RI – After a sweltering heat wave, things are expected to cool down this weekend, and it will be a great time to get out and enjoy your community.
Welcome to The Weekend northern Rhode Island, your weekly guide to local happenings in our three county radius.
Highlights this week include a cornhole tournament outside at The Island, and of course, the Glocester Business Association’s annual Family Fun Day.
So throw on some shorts, fill up your water bottle, grab the kids and head out for some fun this weekend. You won’t even need to fill the gas tank.
