5 THINGS: Bake Sales, Stories and Track

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, August 6, 2012:

Mmm, bake sale! The at the Robert Beverly Hale Library is today, starting at 10 a.m.

Story time and dream journals! Speaking of libraries… Peace Dale Library is hosting for preschoolers at 10:30 a.m. It’s a weekly program, so if you can’t make it this week, make sure you mark it on your calendar for next week! If you have older kids, they can make at 2 p.m. at Maury Loontjens Memorial Library in Narragansett. The cost is $5.

Nick, Ron and Pete aren’t the ones who need your blood though. Cardi’s Furniture is hosting at the South County Commons at 4 p.m.

“What I need you to do is run fast.” – Bob Saget as a track coach on Saturday Night Live. Every Monday night at 6 p.m., there is the Youth Track Running Series at Narragansett High School. For more info, click . You don’t have to be a Narragansett resident to attend.

Pick-up ball. There is for adults 35+ at Peace Dale Elementary School from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The cost is $5.

Eccellente! There is a on the history of Italian cinema at the Peace Dale Library, tonight at 7 p.m.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Starting in early September, we’re going to be phasing out the adding of new calendar events by our staff. This means that if you’re from a group or organization, you’ll have to start doing them yourself. It’s pretty simple, though! While logged into your Patch account, just go here. Adding your event ensures it’ll show up in searches, and be eligible for me to give it shout-outs in Five Things.

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know!

Not to be confused with an alien that will destroy you and raised other aliens as a biological weapon. On this day in 1964, the world’s oldest tree, Prometheus, was cut down.

The twist is that he doesn’t exist, he’s just a computer program that spits out plot turns! Happy 42^nd birthday to M. Night Shyamalan… if he does exist, that is, and he’s not an alien with a water weakness or a dead ghost solving mysteries.
