Buy Lots, Buy Nothing ... Or Take A Trot

Black Friday: I'll give you the link to my Black Friday cheat sheet here, but chances are you're reading this WAY past midnight so it may not be of much help. Here’s hoping you got the deals you were looking for!

Buy Nothing Day: For those who loathe Black Friday, you’ve got your own special day – Buy Nothing Day!

Ninigret Turkey Trot: It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving and all of the food has been eaten. How about a walk at the Ninigret wildlife refuge? Maybe you’ll get lucky and catch a glimpse of  a turkey that survived the holiday. Meet at the West Entrance off Route 1 South, Charlestown.

Little Picture Show @ Wickford Art Assoc.: The Wickford Art Association gallery features Our Little Picture Show from Nov. 22 to Dec. 18 at our gallery at 36 Beach St. in North Kingstown. The Little Picture Show is our last gallery event of the year. All the artwork in this exhibit is 8" x 10" or under and priced to sell. If you (or someone on your Christmas list) like art, this is a good opportunity to pick up a wonderful, moderately priced piece from a talented local artist.
