COMING AND GOING

The faces at the Pawtuxet Village Farmers Market are shifting in the last few weeks of the season, but we will have plenty of fall vegetables like winter squash, carrots, apples and honey. After a week off, Zephyr Farm will be back on Saturday, but Pak Express will be absent as Chang Xiong goes to Minnesota to visit her sister. Saturday will also be Bob Fratantuono’s last week for the season.

Next week, November 20, will be our big Thanksgiving market and the last market of the year.

SUPPORT THE BAND

The Cranston High School East marching band needs volunteers to work the concession stand at Gillette Stadium. The money raised benefits the band and color guard. The Cranston band group will work December 4, 6,19 and Jan 2 If you would like to help, call Trish Heim at 323-5989.

RIVER CLEAN UP

Saturday November 20, the Pawtuxet River Authority will conduct a huge river clean-up at Belmont Park in Warwick and also across the river in Cranston on Perkins Avenue. Both sites have much debris left over debris from the spring flooding. FEMA is paying for the dumpsters and PRA is mustering volunteers.

We will work from 8:30 to 12:30 and then have pizza for lunch. Folks can certainly keep working after lunch if they wish.

We will meet at Belmont Park (as you head south from Providence on Elmwood Avenue, take the first left after crossing the river). Some folks (like those with kids) can stay at Belmont Park and others can go over to Cranston where the debris is heavier and more difficult to get to. We will have gloves, but folks can bring their gloves too.

See you Saturday at the market.
