(singing) “S-u-m-m-e-r-t-i-m-e and the Livin’ is Easy……”. This is a time when the weather is sunny and warm and we all try to get out of our homes and go do something. Maybe take a walk (or roll) in a park or around your neighborhood and meet old friends or make new ones.
Something to consider is to check out the many FREE!! concerts in Rhode Island. Did I say “FREE!!”?? Guess what??most are. Here are some examples:
Crescent Park, near the Carousel in Riverside has concerts on Thursday evenings. And if you get hungry, stop by Blount’s Clam Shack for a bite. They also serve burgers and dogs for you non seafood lovers.
Another example of a town offering is Barrington. Their concerts are Sunday evenings and in a couple of parks around town with water views! Can’t beat that! Go to www.barrington.ri.gov and look for the link to the recreation Dept. for that info.
Another great place to look for statewide concert info is a blog called RI Blogger. Type in the following link and it will take you right there. It is: https://riblogger.com and click on the “Free Summer Concerts” button. There you will find a schedule of concerts by date and town.
At all of these concerts you will find enjoyable local and regional artists that love to entertain; so check them out. Enjoy your summer! Get out there while (singing again) “the fish are a’jumpin’ and the cotton is high……”
