Good Morning,
🍁 What a weekend! From the Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival to the Newport Food Trucks & Beer Festival, to the Pell Bridge Run, to the Potter League Heart & Sole Walk For Animals - it was a busy weekend in Newport.
2,876 runners/walkers finished the 2022 Citizen’s Pell Bridge yesterday morning. Max Girardet (18) was the top finisher at 18:57. Kirby Mosenthal (33) was the top female finisher at 24:43.
I had the honor to serve as co-emcee of the Potter League’s Heart & Sole Walk For Animals at Fort Adams yesterday, where, at last check, the event has raised more than $104,000! Kudos to all involved in that incredible event.
More reporting on all of the events to come today.
🍁 Conversation With The Candidates: On Friday, we had a conversation with Peter Neronha, the Democratic candidate for Attorney General ( Watch).
Here’s what’s on tap today;
🍁 Speaking of Senator DiPalma - he, in conjunction with Congressman Langevin, will be holding the sixth annual Cyber Hygiene Event today at 6 p.m. at the CCRI Newport campus. Read More
🍁 The League of Women Voters of Newport County will screen No Time To Fail, a documentary that follows Rhode Island state and local election workers as they carry out their duties under very difficult circumstances during the 2020 election, tonight at 7:30 pm at The JPT. Read More
Thanks for reading and for your ongoing support,
