As the sun shines and the weather warms, Spring makes it the perfect time to get out and reacquaint yourself with your friends and neighbors at local community events. And wherever you are in New England, there is an abundance of local community events including local town festivals and celebrations. So, the team at RIHI wants to share three great reasons to get out and enjoy these community get togethers.
- Community events are a great way to get together with neighbors and friends in a fun, festive atmosphere. Often, you’ll find activities for kids and adults alike whether it’s giveaways, contests, or demonstrations, they create an enjoyable day out for everyone.
- Local events will usually have tastings/refreshments by local restaurants that introduce you to a place you may been thinking about trying. You’ll also find that often there may be some form of entertainment like local bands or other types of performance art.
- Events are also a great way to learn more about local businesses that support your local community like RIHI The Home Improvement Specialists have done since 1949. It’s a great opportunity to meet these businesses face to face, learn more about what they do, and how they do it, and help you decide if it is a business you’d like to visit or work with on a project for your home.
The RIHI team’s Spring event schedule is in full swing including upcoming events such as with Gaspee Days, Newton Family FunFest, and Cranston Spring Street Festival. Below is a more complete list of events we’ll be participating in this year. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and introduce you to the RIHI family. Hope to see you soon. Happy Spring!
