Flicks and Crafts, School Year Laughs

Choose Your Fun: With the weekend coming up and great weather expected, check out our list of what's happening around Johnston this weekend, including a neat craft at Smith-Appleby House and the weekly schedule of movies at the Rustic Drive-In.

School Humor: It can get pretty intense in the days leading up to the start of the new school year — why not stop for a minute and read five laugh-out-loud blogs recently posted on Patch?

They Pick Kids Up and Put Them Down: Speaking of school, when it's time to plan your mornings, you can find the 2013-14 Johnston school bus routes on Johnston Patch. [We posted the links early; the actual routes will be posted in another week or so.]

Another Reminder: In observance of Victory Day on Aug. 12, curbside pick-up of trash and recycling in Johnston will be delayed by one day.

Enjoy It: More spectacular weather expected for Friday, with sunny skies and temps in the 70s. No rain expected through at least Monday.
