5 THINGS: Carla Gugino, Kinney Bungalow and Trolleys

There are plenty of activities for a Wednesday! Catch the fun times!

 

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Wednesday, August 29, 2012:

Nom nom nom! There are food trucks on Narragansett Town Beach at 6 p.m. tonight. It’s free to look, but not to buy. (Obviously. I mean, duh.)

Learn all about a unique Narragansett property! There is a history evening at the Kinney Bungalow at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free.

BLOOD! There is a blood drive at 4 p.m. in Saunderstown today. For more info, click here.

Library stuff! At 10:30 a.m., there is an eBook session on Maury Loontjens Memorial Library. Also at 10:30 a.m., there is storytime at Peace Dale Library for kids age 3 to 5.

One and two and three and four… There are ballroom dancing lessons at the Towers at 6 p.m. tonight, for $15.

Ding ding ding goes the trolley. A historic trolley tour of Narragansett leaves from the Towers at 10 a.m. The cost is just $10!

Senior services. There is one senior group meeting today. The South Kingstown Veterans Group meets at the South Kingstown Senior Center at 11 a.m.

“I love acting. It is so much more real than life.” – Oscar Wilde. The Contemporary Theatre Company is offering acting classes at 5 p.m. The cost is $10.

Cruising but not for bruisings. It is Cruise Night at Aunt Carrie’s in Narragansett, starting at 5 p.m. This refers to classic cars, and not those trips Kathie Lee used to hawk. Check out some classic cars and classic clamcakes.

A gallery benefit show! There is a gallery show of Stephanie Parker’s work to benefit the Courthouse Center for the Arts. The exhibit is on display until Sept. 9, and open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Starting in early September, we’re going to be phasing out the adding of new calendar events by our staff. This means that if you’re from a group or organization, you’ll have to start doing them yourself. It’s pretty simple, though! While logged into your Patch account, just go here. Adding your event ensures it’ll show up in searches, and be eligible for me to give it shout-outs in Five Things.

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know!

Drat – that sucks. On this day in 1966, The Beatles played their final paid concert at Candlestick Park in San Fran.

Seriously though, that show looks like a hot mess. Happy 41st birthday to Carla Gugino, who’s currently starring in Political Animals, a.k.a. The Thinly Veiled Hillary Clinton Story.
