Five Things: Farmer's Market, Poetry, & What's Your Favorite Book?

Goddard Park Farmers Market: The market at Goddard Park is back. It’s a great way to get ready for the weekend. Off Ives Road, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Teen Center: The Teen Center has provided a great place to hang out on Friday evenings for decades now. They meet at the gym at Eldredge School but you don’t have to play basketball to enjoy the camaraderie. From 6 to 8 p.m.

Book Lover’s Day: That’s today! What’s a book you love? My book loves: To Kill A Mockingbird, Atonement, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Share yours here, won't you?

Poetry & Art opening: The opening reception for Poetry & Art, an exhibition of contemporary poetry and responsive art sponsored by the Wickford Art Association. A collection of 55 poems by local writers was compiled and 55 juried artist members of the WAA were asked to select a poem from the submissions and create a piece of art inspired by the poem. The opening takes place at 36 Beach Street from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
