5 THINGS: No School, No School, No School!

Did I mention there is no school today?

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, October 8, 2012:

No school, huzzah! Most schools in the state are off today for Columbus Day, however, this is a normal work day for us (well, me) at Narragansett Patch. As a result, you’ll see the normal story load of 7+. The Narragansett and South Kingstown town halls are closed, as are most government services like the post office.

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Air Force Day in India. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).
