5 THINGS: Incentivized Yard Sales and Other Events

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Saturday, June 16, 2012:

Yard sale at the church, and everyday homes too! There will be a at St. Augustine Church from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Got a craving for some deeper deals and unspoiled, unseen merchandise? For $5, you can visit early at 7:30 a.m. There is also a “normal” going on at 215 Waites Corner Road in West Kingstown from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Mmm, holy pancakes… An appropriate place to stop before going to the yard sale at St. Augustine’s might be the at the Church of the Ascension. The price is $7 per adult, $5 per child or senior citizen, with a limit of $26 per family. If you bring a baked good, your meal is half-off! And if you join the alternative food co-op, then your meal is free. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Mmm, fresh produce… The University of Rhode Island (and others) will a farmer’s market at East Farm from 8:30 a.m. to noon. If you feel like traveling a bit, there is on Old Post Road in Charlestown from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“So what? So let’s dance!” – Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. Feel like dancing tonight? There will be on Matunuck Beach Road for $10. The fun runs from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Fix or repair daily, yuk yuk yuk! On this day in 1903, the Ford Motor Company was incorporated.

How are you related to Chris Elliott, honestly? Happy 25th birthday to Abby Elliott, who is as pretty as her father is bald.
