Get Out: Show Your Love

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, we put together some "love"-ly events to consider for the weekend.

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, love is in the air and on the mind. As our columnist Cheryl Butler so eloquently put in her latest column, it's not just our significant others we should be thinking about but all those in need who need some TLC. For this week's installment of "Get Out," we've put together a list of ways to show your love for your community as well as your loved one.

 

When/Where: Feb. 11-13, Feb. 18-20; Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2 p.m.; Varnumn Armory, 6 Main St., East Greenwich

Where/When: , Sunday Feb. 13

Why Go: Get some great grub for a great cause. The cast of the NKHS Music Department's production of West Side Story will play waiststaff Sunday night to raise funds for the department. Ten percent of food sales as well as tips from 4 to 8 p.m. will benefit the musical. Money raised will offset the cost of costumes, props and set for the show.

Price: Just money for food.

 

When/Where: The Hotel Viking, 1 Bellevue Ave., Newport on Feb. 11 from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

Why Go: This event is a great way to give back to a good cause while enjoying some great drinks, food and company. Hit up the preview party and/or the main event, along with a cash bar and live auction, to benefit the Potter League in Middletown. For more information, check here.

Pricing: Preview Party, $85 with reservation & $100 at the door. Main Event, $60 with reservation, & $75 at the door.

 

When/Where: 36 S.County Commons Way, South Kingstown on Feb. 11 and 12.

Why Go: If we had to give superlatives out to events, we’d give this one “best all around.” Trek down to South County Commons this weekend for this fundraiser, complete with live entertainment, refreshments, dancing and raffle. (We’re frankly excited about the pink flamingoes on sale!)

Pricing: suggested $5 at the door.

 

Wine Tastings

When/Where: Fridays at 5 p.m., Colonial Wine & Spirits and Wickford Package Store

Why Go: Discover some new wines amongst fine folks every Friday night at either Wickford Package or Colonial Wine & Spirits. For guys: wine tastings are a great way to find what wine your lady wants to drink for that romantic Valentine’s Day dinner you’re planning. (Hint, hint!)

Pricing:  Free.
