Five Things: Eat (Some More), Wash (Dishes), Shop (Holidays)

Your guide for life in East Greenwich today, Nov. 23.


Black Friday: I hate Black Friday, it’s true. But if you are a happy shopper, today’s your day. Let me know what I missed – tell us about your bargains in the comments section!

Holiday Open House at Inspirations Embroidery: Custom embroidery at Inspirations Embroidery on Main Street. Great gift ideas for teachers, holiday parties and that hard to buy for person on your list – jackets, golf towels, hats, and more. With over 20,000 custom embroidery designs for you to choose that special logo to create a unique, one of kind holiday gift. Personalized tote bags for under $20. Bring in your Santa Stockings, tableclothes, napkins, and any unique gift ideas you may have for onsite custom embroidery – $10 initials or names. 427 Main St. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Turkey Trot is Saturday! The second annual EG Hill and Harbour Turkey Trot happens Saturday. Work off the holiday calories with friends and family. It’s a fully sanctioned and certified 5K race in downtown EG. The main event starts at 9 a.m. with a 1-mile fun run at 8:30. Other activities will include crafts, music, and food. The EG Lions ask that you bring a canned good with you to donate to the EG Interfaith Food Cupboard. You can register here or just come out to the Varnum Armory Saturday morning. See you there!

Post your Events and Announcements on EG Patch: If you have something you’d like to see on the EG Patch calendar, upload it by clicking here and finding the “Add an Event” tab on the right. The Events Calendar is my go-to spot for the daily Five Things column. If you want to be featured in Five Things, make sure you post your items on the calendar!
