5 Things: Sprinklers, MBTA Fares & Art Festival

Five things to know for June 30.

1.  We can't believe it's already time for the Wickford Art Festival. The village's biggest event is celebrating its 50th anniversary next weekend. Learn more about the event here. Check back later this weekend for information on parking bans and street closures in the area.

2. MBTA's fares are increasing, starting tomorrow. See how the increases will impact routes leaving Wickford Junction here.

3.  Running for public office this year? Before you post those lawn signs, bust out the palm cards and hit the campaign trail, there's something else you should do: blog! NK Patch is always looking for bloggers and would welcome all local candidates (red, blue, green, yellow, plaid, whoever!) to blog on our site. Have questions? Shoot me an email at samantha.turner@patch.com.
