5 Things: Primaries, Facebook & 9/11

Five things to know for Sept. 3.

1.  Happy Labor Day, NK!

2.  This year's elections are coming up fast, with the primaries only 8 days away. If you're running for office and are from North Kingstown, email me at samantha.turner@patch.com to submit your candidate profile. Don't know what that is? Check out  for an example.

3. Next Tuesday isn't only a special day due to the primaries: it's also the 11th anniversary of 9/11. The North Kingstown Parades Committee is inviting local resident to take part in a special flag raising ceremony at the town beach on Sept. 11 at 8 a.m. for Patriot Day. Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the event.

5.  Today: mostly sunny with highs near 73. Tonight: mostly cloudy with lows around 62. Tomorrow: a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms with highs near 76.
