Five Things: Home For Bosun, Lafayette Band Concert
Your guide for life in North Kingstown today, July 10.
Lafayette Band Concert & Ice Cream Social: The Lafayette Band plays music for all ages. At this week’s concert at Chapel of St. John the Divine, enjoy the music while also enjoying one of several ice cream flavors from Brickley's. Donations accepted. Bring a lawn chair. Chapel of St. John the Divine, Church Way at Willett Road in Saunderstown. 6 p.m.
Bosun needs a new home: Norm MacKay and his dog, Bosun, were Wickford Village staples. Norm was the harbormaster for years and Bosun was a fixture at the marina greeting boaters and looking for treats. Unfortunately Norm passed away about 2 weeks ago and now Bosun needs a new home. It must be a household without any other animals (especially NO cats). He is 12 years old, a schipperke, and his breed typically lives till 16 or so. We only have a short window to find a place for this handsome gentlemen to live out his golden years. Send your phone number or email address to RI Pet Network if you are interested.
