2nd Annual Backyard Carnival Saturday

Turn out for a great cause in Narragansett!

The second annual Narragansett is Saturday, Aug. 25 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 50 Conanicus Road.

The small, family-run event was completely conceptualized by local kids, and the carnival is also staffed by the kids as well. All proceeds benefit Grace Reddington – the Race for Grace – and go toward research to treat Retts Syndrome.
