5 THINGS: Chester Arthur! Good Friday! Other Things!

Here are some things and tidbits and what not.

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Friday, March 29, 2013:

“I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody’s damned business.” – Chester A. Arthur, surprisingly, not Bill Clinton. There are no government meetings today, because of Good Friday, so instead, focus on the intense wisdom of that Chester A. Arthur quote.

Mmm, delicious vegetables and produce! Goose Pond Farm of West Kingston is offering community supported agriculture accounts from this season to Dec. 31. For more info, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Good Friday. 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).
