5 THINGS: Gifts and Tom Hanks and Gifts

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Saturday, November 24, 2012:

Looking for gift options? The South County Artisan’s Market is scheduled for the Fantastic Umbrella Factory from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Silver Tides is also having a gallery night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Dosey doe, maybe? Some English country dancing will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the South Kingstown Land Trust Barn.

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Teacher's Day in Turkey. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Give the gift of food this holiday season. Children’s Dentistry of Wakefield is having a food drive from now until Dec. 19. For more info, click here.

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!

This was in no way controversial. On this day in 1859, Darwin’s On The Origin of Species was published.

I still find you charming – Not Tom Hanks charming, but still. Happy 35^th birthday to Colin Hanks! Also, The Good Guys was an awesome show, and it’s too bad that FOX cancelled it.
