Wonderade Punch List
Providence Weekend
Friday, Oct 16
Saturday is drizzly with rain likely, so it is a good day for Wild Kratts - Live, the Saturday Morning Cartoons Sketchbook Club or The Rhode Island Festival of Children's Books and Authors. Sunday turns sunny but cool, so grab a jacket for the October StoryWalk and save FREE FAMILY MOVIE NIGHTS for the evening.
