5 THINGS: Pig Roasting and Scottish Revolutions

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Sunday, August 5, 2012:

Mmm, how decadent! There is a at 2 p.m. at Hanson’s Pub. The cost is $50, and proceeds go to the Easter Seals of Rhode Island.

Large household items available at yard sale! It’s going on from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 70 Steeplebush Drive in South Kingstown. Items include two queen size beds, a riding mowers, dressers, end tables and kitchen items.

Ramblin’ on at Marina Park. There is a Sunday concert series at Marina Park, and it all goes down at 6 p.m. every week. The band this week is The Ten Rod Ramblers, a folk-rock band.

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!

For a documentary on this, just watch Braveheart, of course. On this day in 1305, William Wallace was captured by the English.

Making small steps for man, giant leaps for mankind. Happy 82^nd birthday to Neil Armstrong!
